The origins

At the origin of GENIUS FISH there are two people, both parents of children with specific needs.

It was on the strength of this life experience that the idea of creating Genius Fish emerged: to provide clear information and make parents' daily journey easier, so that they can best understand their child's development, which is often a source of worry.

This experience is something our founders wanted to conceptualise and make accessible to as many people as possible.

A project of a lifetime, they put all their skills at the service of this emerging idea — both their deep personal knowledge of supporting children with specific needs, and the techniques of data modelling and software development — in order to try to create the digital tool that so many parents and professionals have been waiting for.

An experience is meant to be shared — that is our conviction.

The Vision

Our intention is very clear: Genius Fish is not meant to replace education or health professionals. Genius Fish's ambition is to facilitate collaboration between parents and the professionals who support the child in their development, and to provide access to personalised advice and guidance through a network of certified professionals.

Helping children

Genius Fish aims to help children, whatever their specific needs, to discover their talents, their interests and their dreams, and to give them the means to identify and overcome their challenges. To this end, Genius Fish will offer parents and teachers online tools to track their child's progress and collaborate effectively with the network of professionals who support their development.

the efforts of schools

In a second phase, Genius Fish will also support schools' efforts to improve their methods and approaches, online or in the classroom, in order to cope with the personalisation of education, which has become increasingly complex. With the parents' consent, Genius Fish will make available to teachers and classroom assistants information on the child's unique profile and appropriate knowledge about their particular development.

therapists

Genius Fish will significantly help therapists to provide the right level of support to families, through the ability to easily get in touch with a network of parents, better collaboration and online interaction, or the possibility of planning and orchestrating one-off or ongoing coaching of parents.

Surrounding ourselves with the best

From the outset, Genius Fish has sought to surround itself with the best professionals in their respective fields.

Doctors, speech therapists, psychomotor therapists, after-school assistants, classroom support workers... all work every day towards a single goal: supporting the development of our children.

Our conviction: technology makes it possible to improve communication and collaboration between you — parents — and all the professionals who surround your child.

It is by offering online sharing tools and targeted, personalised information that our initial concept takes on its full meaning.

Genius Fish surrounds itself with the best software developers and the best IT architects to evolve its applications.

All the content present on the website or on the subscribers' platform is systematically written, reviewed and co-approved by specialists in the relevant fields, and receives the "Certified Genius Fish" label; so that the relevance of the information never has to be in doubt for you.

Beyond information, Genius Fish is a reassuring and caring companion.

Genius Fish professionals, experts in child development, experienced in supporting children with specific needs, will be there to listen to you and answer your questions.

If needed, they will offer you personalised follow-up, both for you as parents and for the relatives and professionals in your child's close circle.

The technological concept

Because the protection of users' data is an issue at the heart of today's modern world, Genius Fish took full measure of this aspect from the very start, right from its design phase.

As soon as data concerns children, as well as certain medical or paramedical aspects, we have allowed ourselves no compromise.

This data, which you provide and over which you have full control, will allow you to personalise your child's profile as well as their learning journey, as closely as possible to their specific needs. Genius Fish is an intelligent system: depending on the information you give it, the response will be appropriate. The more detailed the child's profile, the more relevant the Genius Fish recommendations will be.

As an everyday companion, Genius Fish will also help you to set and plan achievable development goals, in line with your child's natural development cycle and matched to their strengths and challenges, so that you can genuinely observe daily progress and visualise developmental changes for each area over the long term.

Valuing success and using sticking points to identify the prerequisites to work on again. That is what our project is all about!
