Recess · Made in Australia, for the every-days between appointments

A quieter record of your child’s day.

A private Australian record of medication, behaviour, and classroom observations for autistic children. Parents, teachers, and clinicians share one timeline, thoughtfully separated by role.

The Recess app's Log a moment screen. Form fields ask in plain language: What was happening just before, what did they do, what happened next. A toggle below lets the parent share the entry with the child's school.
The gap we’re closing

Three people. Three notebooks. One child.

Parents remember what they can. Teachers email when they can. Clinicians reconstruct two months of behaviour in a six-minute appointment. Something has to give, and usually it’s the pattern that would have made a difference.

Parent

I can never remember if the irritability started before the dose change, or after.

Teacher

By the time I email home, I’ve already forgotten half of what happened.

Six minutes. Two months of behaviour. Decisions get made on memory.

A hard moment, at home.
The parent logs it, in one tap.
Overnight, the moment is held.
Morning arrives. Off to school.
The teacher reads what the parent chose to share, and adds their own.
The clinician, at the clinic, adjusts the plan.
The parent is told. Quietly.

One record, three lenses

Designed so nobody sees more than they should.

Abstraction isn’t a setting. It’s the architecture. Teachers and clinicians see fundamentally different data because the server builds a different response for each role.

The Recess parent timeline view, showing post-login focus and today-at-a-glance summary cards.

Parents

You own the record. You decide who sees what, and you can revoke it at any time.

  • Full profile, medications, and logs
  • One-tap daily administration
  • PDF export for appointments
  • Audit of every view, always
Every consent you give is time-stamped, scoped, and revocable.
The Recess classroom timeline view used by teachers. Only abstracted classroom language appears; home detail, diagnoses, and medication names remain out of view.

Teachers

A focused view built for the classroom. No diagnoses, no drug names, just the behavioural context that helps you plan the next hour.

  • Abstracted behaviour tags only
  • Log in the moment, not at 6pm
  • One class, the children enrolled in it
  • No medical history, by design
The product enforces the abstraction at the API layer, not the UI.
The Recess medication register used by clinicians. Shows active medications with dose, schedule, and reason, plus a structured add-medication form.

Clinicians

Medication changes and behavioural observations on one timeline. Two months of context, in one view.

  • Full timeline with context filters
  • Medication vs behaviour overlay
  • Sign-able clinical notes, append-only
  • Share with parent or abstract to teacher
Recess is a record-keeping tool, not a prescribing or diagnostic tool.

Built for the Australian Privacy Act, the way your data ought to be handled.

Data residency in Sydney. Role-scoped access enforced server-side. A full audit of every read and every write. And, on principle, no child’s record ever enters a training pipeline.

Residency
Sydney (AWS ap-southeast-2), with KMS-managed encryption at rest.
Abstraction
Teachers see only abstracted classroom data. Drug names and diagnoses are filtered out at the API.
Consent
Every share is scoped, time-stamped, and revocable in one tap.

Aligned with the APPs and the NDB scheme. PIA documentation available on request for clinical and education partners.
