Questions

Short answers about HelioStep, the waitlist and your child’s information.

Getting started

When can we start?

HelioStep is still being built. A small private pilot comes first, then it opens to families across the US on iPhone, Android and the web. We’ll email you when it does.

Who is it for?

Parents of kids working on behavior goals at school and at home, and the teachers and school staff they invite.

Which phones will it work on?

iPhone, Android and the web, all on the same day. It’s in English and for families in the US at first.

Cost

What will it cost?

HelioStep is free to start, for one child. Plus adds teacher invites, more children and reports, and starts with a free month. It’s billed through your phone’s app store with your payment method, and it renews unless you cancel. Teachers and school staff never pay.

Teachers and your child’s team

Does my child’s teacher have to join?

No. You can check in at home on your own and copy the paper card in by hand. When you’re ready, invite the teacher with Plus, and their card comes to the app.

Do teachers pay?

No. Teachers and school staff never pay.

Can more than one adult be on my child’s team?

Yes. Your child’s other parent joins free, and you can invite teachers and school staff. You choose what each person sees, and removing someone ends their access right away.

Your child’s information

Does my child use the app?

No. Children never have accounts. HelioStep is for you and the adults you invite.

Who can see my evening check-ins and notes?

They stay private to you and your child’s other parent.

Can I download or delete everything?

Download your data or delete your account any time, free on every plan. Backups clear within 30 days.

Do you show ads or sell data?

No ads, and we never sell your data.

Is HelioStep medical advice?

No. HelioStep is a communication tool for families and teachers, not medical advice.
