“Like most day programs, we are always looking for activities that keep every participant engaged. This session held their attention much more than we anticipated, teaching them real-world skills to handle stressors and complex social interactions. It aligns perfectly with our goals for building independence, and we are already looking into more sessions for our group!”
– Elisa H, Day Supports Coordinator"Seeing my son finally engage helped us reach a breakthrough in his school-based emotional goals."
– CMS Parent, South Charlotte"The realization that the IEP is a living bridge between home and school, not just a document to be filed away."
“As we look for programs that keep all of our students engaged while meeting our educational guardrails, this program is definitely what we are looking for. The best part is the kids don't even realize they are building literacy and critical coping skills because they are so focused on the story.”
– John T, School Administrator"I could tell something new was happening at school because he came home less shut down and actually more talkative telling me all about it."
– Holly A., Parent, South Charlotte"The understanding that physical regulation is the foundation of mental health--and the story is the map."
"Just KHI curated a session specifically for our event, and it blended seamlessly with our goals. Their ability to tailor movement, story, and engagement made the experience fun and impactful."
"I enjoy the book myself. The movements feel good, and he doesn't even realize he's learning coping skills while we read together."
We use original stories designed specifically to turn complex social situations into relatable, easy-to-follow adventures.
Our characters demonstrate practical coping techniques within the story, showing participants exactly how to handle real-world stressors.
Participants benefit from seeing skills demonstrated by both the story characters and an instructor, providing clear, reinforced modeling.
By following the characters' journeys in our books, learners practice essential emotional regulation in a fun, high-success environment.
We move beyond theory by using our books as visual roadmaps to help individuals of all abilities navigate community settings with confidence.
