EdQueries is India’s only browser-based gamified learning platform built specifically for children and young adults with autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, dyslexia, and cerebral palsy. This hub brings together everything a parent or special educator needs to support a child with autism — from beginner English activities to life skills and vocational training.
What Is the EdQueries Autism Learning Hub?
Every child with autism learns differently. Some are visual learners. Some need repetition. Some thrive with immediate feedback. Most do best when learning feels like play.
The EdQueries Autism Learning Hub is a curated collection of 7,000+ interactive games, activities, and courses designed to meet children with autism exactly where they are — and help them move forward, one small step at a time.
Everything here is:
- ✅ Browser-based — no app to download, works on any device
- ✅ Self-paced — learners move at their own speed, with unlimited attempts
- ✅ Gamified — drag-and-drop, memory games, puzzles, quizzes, and more
- ✅ India-aligned — CBSE, NIOS, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu boards
- ✅ UDL-designed — Universal Design for Learning principles throughout
Why Gamified Learning Works for Children with Autism
Children with autism often respond exceptionally well to structured, predictable, visually-rich learning environments. Gamified learning provides exactly that:
- Immediate feedback — the child knows instantly whether their answer is right, reducing anxiety
- Repetition without boredom — game formats make practice feel fresh each time
- Visual supports — pictures, colours, and animations support comprehension without relying solely on text
- No social pressure — the child learns at their own pace without fear of judgment
- Intrinsic motivation — completing a game feels rewarding in itself
At EdQueries, our games are built on these principles. Whether your child is just beginning to recognise letters or is preparing for a vocational training programme, there is a structured learning path here for them.

Which Board Does Your Child Follow?
EdQueries is the only platform in India that aligns gamified special needs content to multiple state and national boards:
- ✅ CBSE — Central Board of Secondary Education (Classes 1–5 and beyond): EdQueries aligns with CBSE foundational and primary curriculum frameworks (up to Class 5), offering structured learning across Maths, EVS, Life Skills, and Cognitive development. While EVS coverage currently focuses on early primary levels, additional grade-level content is actively being expanded. English language skills are embedded across activities, emphasizing comprehension, communication, and real-world usage rather than being treated as a standalone subject.
- ✅ NIOS — National Institute of Open Schooling (flexible curriculum for special needs learners): NIOS OBE A level content has been provided. NIOS B level Maths is also available.
- ✅ Karnataka State Board — Maths, English, EVS for Classes 1–3
- ✅ Tamil Nadu State Board — UKG through Class 3, English, Maths, EVS and Social Science
This means a child in Bengaluru following the Karnataka board and a child in Chennai following the Tamil Nadu board can both find curriculum-matched games — tailored to their learning needs.

Is EdQueries suitable for children who are non-verbal?
Yes. Many of our activities are designed for non-verbal or minimally verbal learners, using picture-based formats, drag-and-drop interactions, and visual matching games that do not require reading or speaking.

EdQueries serves learners from early childhood (3–5 years) through to young adults (18–25 years). Our vocational and life skills content is specifically designed for teenagers and young adults with autism who are preparing for greater independence.
