New Digital Platform for Neurodivergent Youth
A new digital platform called Neuronest Explore has launched to provide customizable support for neurodivergent children and adolescents. The Australian-based platform, which has international reach, offers tools for both practitioners and families. It is designed to facilitate inclusive, personalized interventions.
- The platform is designed for children with ADHD and autism, employing evidence-based therapeutic techniques combined with interactive technology. - Key features include "Sensory Islands" for emotional regulation, a "Communication Hub" with PECS boards and sign language support, and modules for learning and social skills training. - Neuronest Explore facilitates collaborative care by allowing parents, therapists, and educators to share dashboards, view progress reports, and coordinate interventions. - The system uses AI to create personalized learning paths and provide insights for the support team. - It includes practical tools for daily routines such as visual timers and multi-sensory activities. - The platform was developed with input from professionals like Shane Ohann, a PhD Candidate in Adolescent Neurodevelopmental Research at Western Sydney University with extensive experience working with neurodivergent youth. - A Houston-based company, NeuroNest AI, is developing a separate app with a similar focus for neurodivergent teens aged 13-17, which will feature an AI companion to support executive function and emotional regulation.
