About Insight Check
Unlock Growth Through the Power of Play
At Insight Check: Therapeutic Tabletop Role-Playing Games, we use the immersive and imaginative world of role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons to create a safe space for personal development. Our unique approach combines storytelling, teamwork, and problem-solving to help adolescents explore their strengths and build essential life skills.
Evidence-Based and Engaging
Insight Check is built on the Critical Core framework, a proven model developed by experts in autism, therapy, and education. This approach leverages the principles of the DIR/Floortime model, emphasising connection, collaboration, and creative exploration as pathways to meaningful growth.
A Fun and Supportive Environment
Our sessions are designed to be inclusive, welcoming, and fun, ensuring participants feel safe to express themselves and take risks. Players become the heroes of their own stories, learning to navigate challenges, communicate effectively, and connect with peers in a structured yet imaginative setting.

Benefits of Therapeutic Role-Playing Games
Build Unstoppable Confidence:
Teens step into the roles of heroic adventurers, facing challenges and triumphs. Along the way, they discover their unique strengths and learn to trust their abilities—not just in the game, but in life.
Master Emotional Resilience:
Handling in-game setbacks like unexpected plot twists or tough decisions teaches teens how to manage frustration, stress, and excitement. These experiences translate directly into tools for navigating real-world challenges with resilience and grace.
Strengthen Social Superpowers:
Working as a team to solve problems, strategise, and share the spotlight helps teens build meaningful connections. They learn collaboration, empathy, and how to celebrate each other’s victories—skills they’ll carry into friendships, classrooms, and beyond.
Enhance Creativity and Problem-Solving:
Role-playing games spark imagination and encourage out-of-the-box thinking. Players develop creative problem-solving skills that empower them to approach challenges from multiple angles—whether in school, friendships, or future opportunities.
Develop Perspective and Empathy:
By stepping into their characters’ shoes, teens experience how others think and feel. This deepens their understanding of different perspectives and fosters empathy, preparing them for the diverse world they live in.
Have Fun While Growing:
Above all, Insight Check is fun! It’s a place for teens to laugh, explore, and bond while building skills they’ll carry for life. Every session is designed to nurture personal development, often without them even realising it—all through the power of play.
It’s more than a game; it’s a carefully designed experience that helps teens grow in confidence, resilience, and connection. Beyond the program, your child may have the opportunity to continue playing with the same group, building lasting friendships and carrying the adventure forward.
