how i work is an interactive system designed to help young people…

…discover how they learn, process and communicate best, while building confidence for future employment.
Across seven themed zones, learners complete adaptive, gamified activities tailored to their interests, preferences and thinking styles.

As learners progress, they create a personalised, dynamic support card filled with strategies that truly reflect what works for them. At its heart, how i work is designed to recognise and support the strengths and needs of autistic individuals - while being useful for anyone who benefits from a more personalised approach.

These insights are backed by academic research and can be shared with careers advisors, teachers or employers, giving them practical, evidence-based guidance on how to support each learner effectively.

From sensory needs to communication preferences and daily rhythms, every task unlocks deeper self-understanding - and more tailored advice. With encouragement from the in-built assistant, learners feel supported at every step as they shape their journey toward work, life and independence - on their own terms.

how I work doesn’t just support young people - it equips the adults around them too. As learners complete engaging, adaptive activities, the system quietly builds a personalised support card filled with insights into how that young person experiences the world.

Teachers, parents and careers advisors can be given access (with permission) to these dynamic dashboards, gaining a clear, academically grounded understanding of each individual’s sensory needs, motivation drivers, communication preferences and daily rhythm.

This means more than just information - it’s practical, ready-to-use support advice. From knowing when a young person is most focused, to recognising triggers and effective calming tools, how i work helps you plan better, communicate smarter and guide them toward employment with real confidence.

Whether you’re preparing a classroom, interview or careers meeting, the insights from how i work are there when you need them - tailored, trusted and designed to help every young person thrive.
