About Us
As parents and caregivers of children with autism, we are incredibly excited about the potential Puppetism has to change lives—for autistic children, their families, and their support teams.
Puppetism features short, engaging puppet videos that teach ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) techniques— helping children develop social, behavioral, and emotional regulation skills through joyful, effective modeling.
To keep this tool accessible, our platform is free for families and supported by individual and agency accounts that benefit from custom AI-powered content.
What is Puppetism?
Puppetism is a customizable video modeling platform that uses ABA techniques—brought to life with adorable puppets—to support the growth and development of children with autism.
Many caregivers and members of the autism community feel isolated or underserved. Puppetism exists to make vital tools accessible to families everywhere—especially those who otherwise might not have access.
