Helping parents find the right mental health and developmental support for their kids — faster.
Wiggler Wellness builds Little Compass, an assessment and navigation platform for families of children aged 2 to 14. In about 15 minutes, parents get a personalized roadmap: which professionals to see, in what order, and how to pay for it. MVP launching in the Greater Toronto Area in fall 2026.
Parents know something's wrong. They don't know where to start.
A child isn't talking as much as other kids their age. A teacher mentions trouble focusing. Worry has started to keep them up at night. Parents usually notice early — and then spend months, sometimes years, trying to work out whether they need an autism assessment, an ADHD assessment, an occupational therapist, a child psychologist or family therapy. Then they find out about the waitlists and what it costs to go private.
The services exist. What's missing is a way to find the right one, in the right order, and a plan to pay for it.

Little Compass: a guided assessment, a clear plan, a way to pay
Assess
A guided 15-minute assessment across nine areas of a child's wellbeing and development — including emotions and anxiety, attention, behaviour, communication, social skills, motor and sensory development, learning, and daily routines. Questions are tailored to three age bands.
Navigate
A personalized roadmap that ranks what matters most and recommends the best professionals in your area. One well-chosen starting point instead of three separate waitlists.
Fund
Guidance on tax credits, workplace benefits and public programs, with typical costs, so families can plan how to pay for private services.
Little Compass doesn't diagnose or treat. It gets families to the professionals who do — sooner, and better prepared.
Built to scale through families and organizations
Families
Annual membership for parents paying out of pocket. Launching in the GTA in fall 2026.
Employers, school boards & benefits providers
Organizations offer Little Compass to employees or families as a benefit, priced per employee or per student. Sold directly to large organizations and through benefits advisors and employee assistance providers.
Private practices pay an annual fee for a vetted listing. No pay-for-placement and no referral fees, so recommendations stay independent.
