Presence Isn’t Inclusion, Especially for Parents
There’s a point where you realize that being a parent of a neurodivergent child quietly turns you into something else. Not by choice, and not because you feel particularly qualified. You become an advocate, a translator, a planner, and sometimes a buffer between your child and a system that doesn’t quite know what to do with them.
Presence Isn’t Inclusion, Especially for Students
There is a certain kind of student I think about often. The one who tries hard, shows up, wants to do well, and still ends up feeling like they’re always a step behind. Not because they’re not capable, but because the way they learn doesn’t match the way school is set up.
A Year of Progress, Gratitude, and Building a Platform That Lasts
As the year winds down, I find myself reflecting less on speed and more on substance, less on what was visible, and more on what was built with intention. Much of the progress happened quietly through thoughtful conversations, trusted collaboration, and steady focus before results were visible. Looking back now, it was a year of real, meaningful progress.
Doing More with Less, Why Now Is The Time to Act
As schools navigate shrinking budgets and rising demands, HiNAIA was created to help educators do more with less through an adaptive learning platform designed to support students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and ADHD. Grounded in cognitive science and built alongside educators, families, and clinicians, HiNAIA reimagines special education as an inclusive, continuously adaptive ecosystem that empowers every learner and lightens the load for those who teach and support them. As Founder and CEO, and as a parent, I’ve seen firsthand both the strain and the potential within our education system. This is our moment to act with intention, to innovate with empathy, and to uphold the promise of equitable learning for every student.
