Interactive zone identification (Blue / Green / Yellow / Red) with a strategy explorer, daily check-in tracker, AI-powered scenario coach, and grade-adaptive vocabulary from K, 12.

CASEL 5 Framework

All SEL tools are tagged to their CASEL competency category. Teachers can filter the hub by competency to surface tools relevant to a specific IEP goal or school-wide SEL initiative.

Plugin Architecture

SEL Hub uses the same plugin-first architecture as STEM Lab, new tools (Emotion Regulation Coach, Conflict Mediator, Growth Mindset Journal, etc.) load as lightweight CDN modules.

Grade-Adaptive

SEL tools read the active grade band from AlloFlow context and scale vocabulary, scenario complexity, and UI density accordingly, from simple emoji-based K, 2 check-ins to nuanced high school coaching.

AAC & Visual Communication

Build AAC symbols and communication boards with open-source tools. AlloFlow has no software subscription; AI image generation may have provider costs or limits. Choose and test symbols, vocabulary, and access methods with the communicator and their support team.

Symbol Studio

AI-powered symbol generation with Imagen, in 6 visual styles (flat vector, line art, cartoon, watercolor, bold comic, high-contrast B&W) plus image-to-image variants for vocabulary expansion. Boards sync across devices via Firebase, exportable as JSON for IEP records.

Direct-Use AAC Mode

Full-screen communication board with tap-to-speak, a sentence strip for phrase building, and a session communication log exportable as CSV, ready for real AAC use in the classroom.

AI Word Prediction

AI can suggest next words as selectable chips. Suggestions depend on provider availability and context; the communicator chooses what to say.

Text-to-Symbols

Type any sentence and AI maps each word to an AAC symbol category, checks the gallery for existing matches, and lets you review the mapping before adding symbols to a board in one click.

Standalone HTML Export

Export any board as a self-contained .html file with base64-embedded images, Web Speech API TTS, and a sentence strip. Opens on any device in any browser, no AlloFlow or internet required.

Partner-Assisted Scanning

Single-switch scanning mode auto-highlights cells at 1 to 4 second intervals. Space bar or tap activates the highlighted symbol, designed for students who cannot independently point or tap.

Board Builder

Draft topic vocabulary and generate images in batches. Review each symbol and label, then adjust category colors, board theme, and column count for the communicator.

Activity Sets & Quick Boards

Bundle boards into named Activity Sets tagged to student profiles. Quick Boards offers AI-generated templates for Core Vocab, Feelings, Calming Corner, Ask Me, Body Check/Pain Scale, and Transition Warning.

Print & Visual Schedules

Choose cell size (1.5″, 2″, or 2.5″) before printing. Dedicated tabs for step-by-step visual schedules and social narrative boards, each with independent print layouts.

Student Profiles & Tagging

Up to 8 student profiles with photo avatars. Assign boards, schedules, and activity sets to any profile, profile tags carry through JSON exports for IEP-ready AAC documentation.

Symbol Gallery

Every generated symbol is saved to a reusable gallery. Auto-match by label before calling the API eliminates duplicate generation. Symbols can be refined, regenerated, or downloaded as PNG.

Symbol Refinement & Styles

Use Imagen's image-to-image pipeline to refine any symbol, remove text labels, change style, or apply a targeted edit prompt. All without leaving AlloFlow.

Architecture & Privacy

Google Education Infrastructure

Can operate inside Gemini Canvas or district-hosted paths. Privacy and FERPA/COPPA posture still depend on Workspace configuration, contracts, retention settings, and actual use.

Standard JSON "Sneakernet"

Save Project downloads an AlloFlow JSON project that Load Project can reopen. Device recovery and host storage vary; save a project file before closing or moving to another device.

Frictionless Sharing

Distribute interactive lessons to students or collaborate with co-teachers simply by sending the JSON file and a canvas link.

Local-First Student Data

Student progress can stay on-device in local-first paths. Teachers export data as JSON. The Student Portal uses codenames to reduce identity exposure.

No Cloud Accounts Required

Zero third-party account creation for students. Bypasses the need to manage standalone application rosters.

Single-File Monolith

The Canvas payload compiles into a portable single-file app shell, reducing runtime moving parts for browser deployments.

Offline HTML Bundles

Export units as standalone interactive packages that can support offline homework and low-connectivity access after creation.

Teacher Gate

Access code protection keeps student and teacher environments separate.

Privacy by Design

Student Entry Portal uses fun codenames (e.g. "Cosmic Badger") instead of PII.

Designed for Every Learner

Built toward WCAG 2.2 AA with published interim VPAT and audit evidence. The historical April 2026 audit covered 130+ files and drove roughly 1,070 accessibility fixes; the current evidence set adds a limited-scope WCAG 2.2 audit for the Desktop command center and bundled application states. Neither document is a product-wide certification, so district workflows and exported artifacts should still be validated. Read the current audit or review the v1.2 VPAT.
