Let's Build it Together | Support Autism Educational tools
Support autism educational tools that make a real difference in children’s lives. At ReadnLearn, we’re on a mission to create free, high-quality apps and resources specifically designed for children with autism. Our unique model is simple: professional children’s book illustration services fund the development of completely free autism-focused educational tools.
Every book project we illustrate directly supports the creation of therapeutic apps, learning games, and educational resources that families can access without cost. This is how we support autism educational tools development while ensuring no family is left behind due to financial barriers.
How ReadnLearn Actually Works
The Model:
Children’s book illustration services for US authors fund the development of autism-focused educational books and apps. Every illustration project provides the income and time needed to build resources for neurodivergent children.
The Reality:
I’m currently splitting time between client work (which pays the bills) and mission work (which helps kids like my son). With one US client per month at my standard service rate, I have enough runway to dedicate significant time to building TimeTales and future educational apps.
The Goal:
Reach $5,000 monthly recurring revenue so I can transition from split focus to full-time development of educational resources. That’s when app development accelerates. That’s when therapist collaboration intensifies. That’s when parents and educators get the tools they’re asking for.

What Support for Autism Educational tools actually buys
Transparency in Action:
$2,700 illustration project = 2 weeks of dedicated development time on autism-focused apps
$3,900 educational package = 3 weeks of development + therapist collaboration time
$9,000 book and app project = 6 weeks of full-time mission work
$5/month Patreon × 100 supporters = Partial month of development time
$50/month Patreon × 20 supporters = One month of dedicated app building
The Math:
$5,000/month sustainable revenue = Full-time transition to building tools for neurodivergent children

Why This Model Makes Sense
For Authors Hiring ReadnLearn:
You get 27 years of professional experience, Disney and Microsoft recognition, and direct collaboration with someone who understands how children learn. Your project gets personal attention, not agency bureaucracy.
For Patreon Supporters:
You’re not donating to a vague cause. You’re funding specific development milestones and getting exclusive access to the process and products.
For Email List Members:
You get free resources and early access without financial commitment. If what we build helps your family, your reviews and word-of-mouth help other families discover it.
The Honest Reality
I’m not a nonprofit with grants and institutional funding. I’m one person with professional skills, lived experience, and a mission that won’t let me rest until better tools exist.
Some months, client work is steady and mission work progresses. Other months, I’m focused on keeping the lights on. The dual model works, but it’s slow.
Your support, whether through hiring me for illustration, joining Patreon, or simply spreading the word, accelerates everything. It’s the difference between “someday these tools will exist” and “these tools are launching this year.”
