Learning the ropes on a new job is a challenge for anyone. Decision trees like A Question at Work helps a new employee or volunteer work through their response to a customer, guest or co-worker. Other decision trees related to making decisions can be developed through the decision tree maker. We’ll help.

Independent living or ‘adulting’ involves decisions in getting around, meals, shopping, and interpersonal skills. Smart Steps can be customized for your unique situation, either as an individual or as an agency or school.

Make your work easier: Content can be customized in endless ways.

  • Campuses: Write content that helps students adjust to the challenges of college.
  • Instructors: Set up options for a classroom project.
  • Parents: Customize decision trees for your child’s unique stressors.
  • Counselors and Support Staff: Help students manage stress by providing resources or reminding them of stress management tools.

A Panic Button is included for quick access to Emergency Contacts. The user can text or call a contact of his or her choice.

A Profile screen is also available to show to an emergency responder or other helpful person, particularly for those who may become ill or unable to speak in a stressful situation.

With Smart Steps, I have confidence that I can handle stressful situations. If I have a question at work, school, or on my own, I can log into the Smart Steps Mobile app and decide what to try. If I don’t know what to say, the app has a suggestion, and I can use the speak aloud button to talk for me if I want. When I am stressed out, I just use the Help button. I can call a friend or other Emergency Contact, stored on the Help screen. If I need help from a police officer, I can show them my profile screen so that I don’t have to explain myself. Finally, I can ask for help when I want it and how I want it. Awesome!
