How the platform works

TIE Academy works in five steps. A parent fills in a Spec — a developmental, language, and learning portrait of one child, ten to fifteen minutes the first time. The platform generates an Initial Report grounded in CDC, AAP, WHO, and bilingual-development research, with citations. From there, a weekly roadmap (Now / Next / Later) suggests two or three priorities at a time. A premium AI guide answers questions about development, school, and family life with non-diagnostic language. And when a TIE Academy program fits the child's stage, the platform surfaces it with a "why this fits" explanation. Free to start; premium unlocks the full Initial Report and weekly roadmap.

1. 1Step 1

   Build the Spec

   About your child: ages, interests, habits, language context, what you've been noticing. It takes ten to fifteen minutes the first time. You'll keep adding to it for years.

2. 2Step 2

   Get your Initial Report

   When you start Premium, the platform generates a cited, evidence-grounded portrait of your child — a document that pulls together what you've said, what developmental research suggests matters at this age, and where the roadmap should begin.

3. 3Step 3

   Follow the weekly roadmap

   Every 7 days, a short Now / Next / Later plan. Pin what fits this week. Skip what doesn't. The roadmap keeps learning from what you respond to.

4. 4Step 4

   Ask the guide-style AI

   When a question doesn't fit a search bar — "why is she suddenly obsessed with fairness?" — ask the assistant. It's grounded in your Report, current research, and the GETIT framework. It won't pretend to be a clinician.

5. 5Step 5

   Enroll in programs that fit

   When a TIE Academy program matches your child's stage, the platform will surface it — with a clear "why this fits your child" explanation. Premium members get a discount on enrollment.
