Overview
About Jam Up!
Jam Up! is a digital platform designed to support children and young people with additional needs, including neurodiversity, to build independence in everyday routines and life skills.
We know that daily tasks such as getting dressed and cleaning teeth can become overwhelming — not just for children and young people, but for families too. Jam Up! provides gamified, step-by-step support that reduces stress, builds confidence, and promotes independence in a way that feels empowering rather than overwhelming.
Our work is shaped through co-production with parents, carers, children and young people and healthcare professionals. We are committed to ensuring that the outcomes we measure and the features we build reflect what truly matters to families: calmer routines, reduced conflict, greater independence, and improved wellbeing.
Jam Up! works across health, education, and community settings and is:
• Designed with lived experience at its core
• Focused on measurable outcomes and real-world impact
• Committed to reducing digital inequalities
• Continuously evolving through research partnerships and evaluation
We collaborate with schools, NHS services, local authorities, universities, and innovation partners to ensure Jam Up! delivers both family impact and system-level value.
Our mission is simple:
To reduce daily stress, increase independence, and improve quality of life for children and young people with additional needs and the families who support them.
