About NeuroKind

NeuroKind began as my personal journey of empathy and creativity. I’m Sanskriti, a high-school senior from San Jose, California, and for the past four years I’ve mentored and taught neurodivergent children, learning how patience, play, and design can transform communication.

​

It all started with Mia, a bright, nonverbal student whose love for volleyball showed me that connection doesn’t always need words; sometimes it’s a movement, a rhythm, or a shared smile. At Friends of Children with Special Needs (FCSN), I adapted lessons using textured sensor balls and 3D-printed emotion toys, helping students build confidence and teamwork through sensory play.

​

Inspired by these experiences, I began designing creative learning tools ; from play-based vocabulary games like Sun-Daes to a mind-mapping platform that turns complex ideas into visual connections. Now, NeuroKind is expanding into assistive technology, with a wearable device that helps students with ADHD and Autism manage focus and daily routines through adaptive AI.

​

Beyond design, my love for art and dance inspires how I approach learning  with creativity, rhythm, and care.

​

At its heart, NeuroKind stands for kindness in learning: creating spaces where every child feels seen, supported, and celebrated for who they are ; one story, one smile, and one design at a time.
