In today’s fast-paced, multitasking households, finding an efficient and inclusive way to keep track of everyone’s schedule is more than a convenience—it’s a necessity. Dr. Eric Fishon, an educator, podcaster, and father to a neurodiverse child, shares how the Cozyla Calendar, a digital wall calendar designed for families, has transformed the way his household communicates, plans, and thrives together.
We are especially honored to have interviewed Dr. Eric Fishon — a Creator, Chief Storyteller, Author, Brand Ambassador, and Public Speaker at XTERMIGATORkids.com. He has been an active and enthusiastic user of Cozyla in our Cozyla Community, generously sharing valuable insights and creative ways to use the Cozyla Calendar. Let’s hear his inspiring story and how Cozyla has made a difference in his family’s life.
Why Cozyla?
Before discovering Cozyla, Dr. Fishon and his family relied on a disjointed system of dry-erase wall calendars, sticky notes, and digital reminders spread across multiple apps. “It was a chaotic patchwork,” he recalls. “We constantly missed therapy appointments or double-booked school meetings. It created a lot of stress, especially for my son, who needs clear structure and predictability.”
His search for a solution led him to Cozyla, a smart touchscreen calendar that functions as a centralized hub for families. What stood out wasn’t just its technical capability—it was the product’s thoughtful design as a shared, visible planning tool. “This wasn’t just a calendar,” he says. “It was a digital calendar display that could offer visual harmony and emotional support.”

A Daily Routine for Family
Now a cornerstone of their morning routine, the Cozyla smart calendar sits prominently on their kitchen wall. “Each day starts by reviewing it together,” Dr. Fishon says. “My son can see what’s coming without surprises. That visual clarity reduces his anxiety and helps him feel in control.”

Whether it’s managing doctoral deadlines or family outings, everything is color-coded and easy to read on the digital family calendar display. “It’s like a command center,” he adds. “It’s as essential to our home now as the refrigerator.”
Features That Make a Difference
Among Cozyla’s standout features are its multi-user sync, iCal compatibility, and voice assistant integration. Dr. Fishon has connected Cozyla with both Google Home and Alexa, creating a truly smart calendar for wall use. “I can add or check appointments hands-free while prepping meals or guiding sensory play,” he explains.
The casting feature—displaying calendar content directly on the digital calendar wall—makes it easier for everyone to stay on track. Smart lighting integration adds another layer of support: “When a therapy session is about to begin, the lights in our home change color. It’s a gentle, sensory cue that works beautifully in a neurodiverse environment.” He also shares more details and practical tips in his in-depth review blog, where he reflects on how these features fit into everyday family life.
Owning Your Space
One particularly moving moment for Dr. Fishon came on a Sunday morning when his son reviewed the Cozyla Calendar and declared, “First we pray, then we play with words,” referring to church and speech therapy. “That kind of self-regulation was unthinkable before,” he says. “The family wall calendar gave him the confidence and structure he needed.”
Dr. Fishon also uses Cozyla creatively by displaying affirmations, behavioral goals, and countdowns to special events, blending functionality with emotional reinforcement. “It’s more than a digital calendar planner—it’s a visual support system.”
Long-Term Value
Having used Cozyla over time, the family remains committed to it because of its consistency, simplicity, and accessibility. “It’s a family calendar app that feels natural. You don’t have to force it into your routine—it becomes the routine.”
Looking ahead, Dr. Fishon hopes to see new accessibility features such as high-contrast themes, dyslexia-friendly fonts, and audio cues. Integration with mental health tracking apps could be another powerful addition. “Imagine plotting mood or energy levels alongside your daily tasks. It would be a game-changer for families like ours.”
A Tool for All Families
When asked what he’d tell others considering Cozyla, Dr. Fishon says, “If you’re looking to create a calmer, more predictable home—especially if you have a neurodiverse family—this is the tool. It’s not just about scheduling. It’s about visibility, emotional wellness, and shared understanding.”
