The platform aims to address the significant challenges faced by families awaiting assessments or struggling with the complexities of neurodivergent conditions. With over 700,000 people waiting for ADHD assessments and over 200,000 for autism assessments in the UK alone, Sylva offers immediate, clinical-grade support. It helps parents make sense of their child's profile through validated screening tests and provides access to a 24/7 AI mentor for personalized family support.
Sylva emphasizes privacy and anonymity, ensuring a non-judgmental environment for parents. The app's mission is to provide help the moment it's needed, rather than years later, combating the isolation and exhaustion often experienced by families. It also highlights the broader societal impact, noting that over 95% of parents of autistic children report high levels of stress, and 30% of SEND parents have to quit or reduce work.
Users can start their journey with Sylva by taking a screening test or directly engaging with the AI mentor. The app is available on iOS, Android, and Web, offering a 7-day free trial without requiring a card to start. After the trial, users can upgrade for £9.99 a month, with the flexibility to cancel anytime. Sylva is committed to user safety and data security, with strict processes in place to protect information.
Founded by Ben Cosh in 2016, Sylva emerged from his personal experience with the systemic failures in supporting neurodivergent families. The app is part of his mission to provide instant, personalized, and affordable support, addressing issues like long NHS waiting lists, information overload, and the financial strain on families and the education system. The company is also working towards B Corp certification, demonstrating a commitment to social impact beyond profit-making.
