Wearable Assistant for Learning Independence
As I continued working with neurodivergent students, I noticed something shared decision paralysis and hyperfocus often interrupted learning.
Turning technology into a gentle companion.
As I spent more time teaching neurodivergent students, I noticed a pattern — many experienced decision paralysis or hyperfocus that interrupted learning. They wanted to engage, but sometimes needed small nudges, reminders, or structure to stay on track.
That’s when I began working on a wearable assistive device — part sensory tool, part digital companion. It uses adaptive AI to gently cue routines, break tasks into manageable steps, and encourage positive habits.
It’s not about control or correction — it’s about empowerment. The wearable acts as a quiet ally, helping students manage focus and build independence at their own pace.
For me, this project symbolizes what NeuroKind is all about: making technology human — something that listens, supports, and grows alongside each child.
Because independence isn’t about doing everything alone — it’s about having the right kind of help, at the right moment, in the kindest way possible.
