One simple outcomeDoes the child start without support, start with support, or not start?
Our approach
How Kinaptic Works
A non-diagnostic, evidence-building approach to understanding what helps a child get into learning. We call it Access Before Adaptation.
For practitioners and researchers
The Model Behind Kinaptic
Built to sit alongside professional judgement. Here is what we are testing, and how.
Access Before Adaptation
Principles We Hold To
Observation is not interpretationWe record what happened, and never infer hidden states.
Non-diagnostic by designNo readiness scores, labels or diagnoses.
Decisions written down in advanceEach stage has rules agreed before we look at results.
How We Build Evidence
Understand
Is this child’s getting started variable or consistent across sessions?
Anticipate
Does a parent’s quick judgement before a session help predict it?
Support
Does one predefined change at the start lead to a better start?
Adapt
Does the child’s own evidence choose a better start next time?

What We Are Testing
Kinaptic is at an early, evidence-building stage. The Founding Families programme is testing whether our approach is useful and safe, and which insights parents find genuinely useful.
We observe what happens across the child, the activity, the setting and the moment. We record what happened, not an interpretation of a child’s inner state.
