CASEN Outreach brings CASEN facilitators directly into the community to educate children on social media awareness, appropriateness, and readiness. Through engaging lessons and age-appropriate discussions, students learn how to navigate the digital world safely, respectfully, and with confidence.

Utilizing trusted resources from organizations such as the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General, StopBullying.gov, and other expert platforms, CASEN Outreach delivers impactful content that highlights both the power and potential dangers of social media. Students are taught to recognize various forms of bullying, including cyberbullying, and are equipped with the tools to respond effectively and responsibly.

Programs can be customized to meet the needs of each setting. CASEN facilitators are available to deliver content on an hourly or weekly basis, whether in schools, community centers, churches, or camps. For conferences and seminars, CASEN designs sessions that align with the time provided. For summer camps and ongoing programs, CASEN typically offers one hour of educational and interactive content per week, balancing instruction with engaging activities.

CASEN Outreach is designed for neurodivergent children ages 9–13, a critical developmental stage for digital and social-emotional learning. However, the program is flexible and can be adapted to include younger or older participants based on the needs of families and institutions.

Through CASEN Outreach, children not only gain essential knowledge but they also gain a safe space to learn, ask questions, and grow into responsible digital citizens.

The CASEN Education Social Network Wellness Academy is a transformative online learning experience designed to help children not only identify their challenges, but also build upon their strengths. Unlike many educational platforms that focus solely on deficits (often leaving students feeling inadequate or behind) CASEN takes a strength-based, empowering approach.

CASEN believes that for children to thrive on social media, they must first understand what it means to have social wellness, the ability to communicate effectively, manage emotions, show empathy, and build healthy relationships. These skills are essential for developing appropriate online behavior and are best learned through intentional instruction and safe, supportive practice.

The Social Network Wellness Academy provides structured, online courses featuring four interactive learning modules specifically designed for neurodivergent children aged 9–13. Each module builds foundational social-emotional skills and introduces digital communication strategies in a way that is engaging, age-appropriate, and easy to understand.

CASEN meets children where they are, encouraging growth at their own pace while sparking curiosity and confidence along the way. Once children complete the Wellness Academy, they transition to CASEN Connect, their monitored, invitation-only social media platform where they can safely practice and apply the social wellness skills they’ve learned in real time.

At CASEN, they don’t just prepare children for the digital world, we equip them to thrive in it.

​“CASEN Education’s Social Network Wellness Academy is the best of education and social media, a place where the two collide for the betterment of society. Children learn to grow and have fun on social media in a safe and healthy way. If you can’t beat them, join them, by teaching them how to do it right.”

– Dr. Myava Clark

CASEN Connect is a purpose-built social media platform designed to serve as a developmental precursor to mainstream social media. Its primary goal is to prepare neurodivergent children for a safe and confident transition into less structured online environments.

This platform is specifically designed to support adult leaders such as teachers, parents, caregivers, social workers, psychologists, and anyone working with children who are emerging social media users or have social skill deficits. CASEN Connect offers a protected, guided space where students can learn and practice appropriate online communication under the supervision of a trained facilitator.

One of the platform’s key features is the “Question of the Day,” which helps children build comfort and fluency in digital communication. These daily prompts start with structured guidance to ease students into online interaction and gradually progress toward more independent, thoughtful responses. This intentional approach supports the development of critical thinking, appropriate self-expression, and confidence in digital spaces.

To further build social skills, children can engage with peers within their own group Monday through Thursday, and on Fridays, they are given the opportunity to connect with children from other groups, expanding their ability to interact with a wider range of peers while still within a monitored, safe environment.

CASEN Connect is invitation-only, ensuring all participants are verified and protected. Every student post is reviewed and approved by an adult facilitator before it becomes visible to others. This strict moderation not only ensures safety but also reinforces positive, respectful online behavior.

Ultimately, CASEN Connect bridges the gap between learning about social media and safely practicing it, helping students grow into confident, responsible digital citizens.

MOEK (Mothers of Exceptional Kids) is a supportive community designed to provide emotional support, educational resources, advocacy guidance, and social connection for parents and caregivers of neurodivergent children. 

The core mission of MOEK is to offer a safe, judgment-free space where parents and caregivers can openly share their questions, challenges, and triumphs with others who truly understand. Parenting a neurodivergent child can feel isolating, but within MOEK, no one walks alone.

At the heart of the community is an open discussion forum, where parents can post specific questions or concerns. Fellow caregivers offer insight based on their own lived experiences, sharing both what has worked well and what didn’t. These real-world perspectives create a valuable collective wisdom that helps others feel less overwhelmed and more empowered.

To further enrich the conversation, MOEK brings in guest professionals, including educators, therapists, and advocates to provide expert insight, answer questions, and offer tools that parents can immediately apply in their daily lives.

In addition to peer and professional support, MOEK offers a variety of carefully curated resources. These include:

• Practical guides and tip sheets
• Informative lessons and articles
• Links to trustworthy websites and support organizations

Whether you’re navigating a new diagnosis, managing IEP meetings, or simply trying to connect with others who understand your journey, MOEK provides the support and community parents and caregivers need to feel seen, heard, and strengthened.
