For autism, ADHD and all SEND needs
Note what happened in seconds, see the patterns behind hard days, plan the next EHCP step and help your child say it their way. All in one calm, private place.
My Say, letter templates, calming tools and SEND guidance are free. Made in Manchester by Praelion, a UK company that never sells your family’s data.
The school email that needs an answer by Monday. The late-night search for what an EHCP actually is. The strategy that worked once, and you can’t quite remember how.
Professionals see your child for an hour at a time. You see the rest. Heedli gives you somewhere to keep it, so it’s there when someone finally asks.
Every screen here is the real Heedli 2.0 app, shown with a made-up family.
Premium
Tap what happened, how intense it was and what helped. You build a dated record you can rely on, without writing an essay at the end of a long day.
Premium
Heedli spots what keeps coming up in your own records, so you can take a clear, evidenced picture into SENCO and school meetings.
Free and Premium
A guided journey through each stage of the EHCP, in plain language. See where you are and one clear next step, with needs, outcomes and provision kept together.
Free
Letters for common school and support requests, drafted from checked templates, not AI. Add what you know, edit every word, then share it as a PDF.
Free
My Say is a picture board that helps your child say what they need, out loud or shown on screen to the person they’re talking to.
Your young person gets their own calm room for feelings check-ins, routines and calming tools, linked to the family picture you see.
Free
Meltdown support walks you through recognising the early signs, responding and recovering. Breathing and grounding are there for them, and for you.
It’s free on the App Store and Google Play. Choose who the phone is for, and a short welcome shows you around.
Open Meltdown support, write a letter to school, look up the EHCP steps or hand your child My Say. None of these needs an account, a child profile or a diagnosis.
Their profile holds what they find hard, their triggers and what helps. Each moment you keep then builds the record you’ll bring to the next meeting.
The things you might need tonight are free. Premium is for keeping a record over time, monthly or yearly.
Get your bearings, with no account needed.
Everything in Free, plus a record that builds over time.
Eligible new subscribers can try Premium free for seven days. Your app store decides eligibility and shows the price, any trial and the billing date before you confirm. Subscriptions renew until cancelled. If Premium ends, your saved records stay available to read.
Written for UK parents and carers. Free to read, and useful whether or not you use the app.
Raising a child with additional needs is hard enough. The paperwork, the meetings and the waiting shouldn’t make it harder.
Heedli was started by a GP who is also the parent of a child with special needs. It’s the support we wanted ourselves at 11pm on a school night: something that remembers what was hard last week, doesn’t shout, and explains things in plain English.
Our guidance draws on IPSEA, Contact, the SEND Code of Practice (2015) and the Children and Families Act (2014), and on the parents who have shared their experiences with us.
We answer every email. Often slowly, always personally. More about us

Heedli is an app for UK families living with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). It keeps what happened, the patterns behind hard days, your EHCP journey, school letters, documents and your child's own voice together, with free letter templates, calming tools, plain-English EHCP guidance and My Say, a picture board for your child.
Parents and carers, whether you're waiting for an assessment, in the middle of an EHCP process, or looking for better support day to day. You don't need a diagnosis to start. Young people can also link a hub of their own.
My Say, SEND rights information, letter templates, Meltdown support and other wellbeing tools are free. Premium adds child profiles, the diary of moments, documents, insights and the calendar. Eligible new subscribers can try Premium free for seven days; your app store shows the price and any trial before you confirm.
We never sell personal data or use your family's content for advertising. Connections are encrypted, access is tightly controlled, and sign-in tokens use your phone's secure storage. If you choose an AI-assisted letter edit, common identifiers such as names, schools and contact details are removed before anything is sent. The privacy policy explains exactly what is stored and where.
Yes. You can export letters and prepare reports from your own records to take to school meetings, therapy appointments and reviews. You decide what's included, and you check everything before you share it.
No. Heedli is an organisation and preparation tool. It isn't a diagnostic tool or an emergency service, and it can't guarantee school, EHCP or DLA outcomes. EHCP guidance relates to England. Seek professional support when you need it.
Heedli is free to download on iPhone, iPad and Android. Hand your child My Say, open Meltdown support or write a letter, then add your child when you’re ready.
