Buddytown Networks

Buddytown Networks was a digital health company that developed a specialized virtual world platform designed for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders and other social communication challenges. The company's primary product, Buddytown, provided a safe, moderated online environment where users could practice social skills, emotional regulation, and real-world interactions through avatar-based role-playing. By gamifying social-emotional learning, the platform aimed to bridge the gap between clinical therapy and everyday social situations. Despite its innovative approach to digital therapeutics for neurodiversity, the company is no longer active.
