DaySteps Connections

Share the everyday load. Keep every role clear.

Share grocery lists, chores, and one-off tasks with a partner or co-parent. When a clinician or educator connects, DaySteps gives them a view and actions defined for that role.

Shared To-Do Lists

One list for the things you’re carrying together.

Build a grocery list together, send a chore, or capture a one-off task before it gets lost. Shared To-Do Lists give partners and co-parents one place to see what needs doing—without turning every task into a routine.

  • Build the list together

    Keep groceries, errands, packing, and household tasks in one shared place.

  • Send the next task

    Assign a chore or one-off task to your partner or co-parent.

  • Keep routines for what repeats

    Use To-Do for work that changes from day to day.

How connections work

Connect by code. Approve the relationship. Keep control.

A connection changes what another adult can access. It does not give every role the same permissions.

  1. Step 01

    Choose the relationship

    Start from the kind of connection you are making. A co-parent, a teacher, and a Care Team member each follow their own flow.

  2. Step 02

    Share a connection code

    A DaySteps connection begins with a code shared between the family and the other adult. Professional access begins only after the parent approves the connection for that child.

  3. Step 03

    Open the role-specific view

    Co-parents, Care Team members, and educators receive different permissions by design. Professional access ends when the connection is removed.

Role-scoped access

Every role has a defined scope.

The family remains the source of truth. DaySteps changes the available information and actions according to the relationship.

  • Parent

    Controls the family system

    Builds routines, approves professional connections, and can remove professional access.

  • Co-parent

    Shares the household load

    Coordinates shared lists, routines, and schedules from the family view.

  • Care Team

    Reviews permitted context

    Can view permitted schedule, completion, and Insights for the connected child and send structured suggestions.

  • Educator

    Receives a narrower view

    Can view schedule and completion for the connected child. Educators do not receive Insights or send Care Team suggestions.

Connected does not mean identical.

Care Team suggestions

Every suggestion goes through the parent.

The family’s routine remains parent-created. A connected Care Team member can recommend a structured change without editing it directly.

  • Review permitted context

    See shared patterns across routines, focus, mood, and parent-set support levels.

  • Recommend a structured change

    Send a before-and-after suggestion for a specific parent-created routine. There is no open-ended chat.

  • Parent approves or declines

    Nothing changes for the child until the parent decides.

Clinicians suggest. Parents decide.

Boundaries by design

Connected does not mean unrestricted.

DaySteps uses defined roles and structured actions instead of open-ended communication or silent changes. Professionals cannot edit family routines directly. Parents can remove a professional connection to end access.

No chat. No public profiles. No provider directory. No automatic sharing with schools, districts, or insurers.

Access

Start with one clinician connection on any plan.

Every DaySteps tier, including Free, includes one clinician connection. When a household connects to a DaySteps Practice account, Family access is included at no cost while the connection remains active.
