MOODZIE

The creator of Moodzie is Natalie Clarke , who is a professional Special Education , Information Technology and Nutrition teacher from Australia .
After working for many years as a Special Education teacher and particularly with children with ASD , I felt there was a huge need to help children to control their emotions . This is what stops children from being effectively engaged in learning and life .
This Christmas , I was floating in my pool and I had the idea that I needed a cute little creature to represent my apps and especially my mood toolbox . My son with ASD adores Pokémon and so Moodzie was born . He is sensitive to the world and changes colour depending on his mood .
I knew was I going in the right direction when a feather dropped on my lap .
I have been helping children with special needs for years . In 2016 , I had the opportunity to work at an Autism school and had six students with very high needs . Even though Moodzie was not born then , I practiced using every strategy that I had as a teacher for the last 25 years to help my students .
My 10 year old son has ASD and I have also used these strategies from when he was very little . He is high functioning as a result and has created his first app and youtube channel .
Moodzie is the Ambassador for Life Learning Apps and will help Millions of children worldwide through this program .
I design apps for children , but the mini apps such as my manifesting Jar can be used for adults . They do contain a parental lock for weblink in the apps so that children can safely use it too .
I also have a range of other apps for adults such as :
Alchemy Apps : Touch the character and get positive messages . Bride ’ s Alchemy , Santa ’ s Alchemy , Pregnancy Alchemy /
Where ’ s the bride ? A bridal quiz with games . Available on Apple , google play and amazon apps .
Boy or girl game ? A pregnacy quiz with games . Available on Apple , google play and amazon apps .
Halloween quiz : Apple watch , IOS and Google play and Amazon .
