When I finished school, all I can remember was feeling bruised and battered. I remember thinking 🤔 in my head that thank god that was over and I never wanted to learn ever again. The thing is, education doesn’t need to be this way. It can be fun, interesting, and enjoyable. But yet we are still seeing students coming out like the people in this picture. At Neurodiversity Academy, this is what we are going to change. We want to find the learning organizations that are fun, interesting, and enjoyable, especially for neurodivergent people. By finding these organizations and referring neurodivergent students to them, we are hoping they will come out as happy if not more enthusiastic than when they started their education journey. #neurodivergent #highereducation #students #mentalhealth

🧠💡 NEURODIVERGENT EDUCATION 💡🧠 Education is not one-size-fits-all. Inclusive teaching practices and accommodations are essential to support the unique learning needs of neurodivergent students. Sensory-friendly learning environments, alternative assessment methods, and promoting understanding and acceptance among peers are just a few ways to make education more accessible. Let’s discuss, how can education be more inclusive for everyone? #NeurodivergentEducation #InclusiveTeaching #SensoryFriendly #AlternativeAssessment #UnderstandingAndAcceptance

Supporting neurodivergent students on campus can be as simple as using the following tips for each class session (PRO TIP: these tips can benefit more that neurodivergent students): -Have I provided an agenda ahead of each class? -Are my lectures broken up into smaller chunks? -Have I included breaks between topics? -How will students engage? -Have I included instructions and other prompts in multiple formats? -Have I offered note-taking alternatives? -Have I offered some content in different modes? #OccupationalTherapy professionals can help faculty support diverse learners on your campus. #StudentSuccess #StudentSupport #TheCollegeOT #HigherEducation

What if The Socratic Experience no longer existed 25 years from now? As a team, we embarked on an exercise to write the obituary for our high-touch virtual school for creative and entrepreneurial children, envisioning the legacy we aim to create: 1. We changed how people view education by moving beyond the rigid curriculum and cultivating virtues that lead to happiness and well-being. Across thousands of schools—and impacting millions—young people in the late 21st century became more purpose-driven than those in earlier decades. 2. Before TSE, many schools forced students into a one-size-fits-all path that harmed most of them. Roughly 25% played the “school game” and finished with limited horizons, while 75% endured thirteen years of schooling that led to higher rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. 3. The early 21st century was a dark era of mental health crises, substance abuse, and hollow celebrity worship. This gloom fed on fears that AI would render human work obsolete or threaten humanity, deepening widespread pessimism. 4. We proved that young people could learn self-mastery in a joyful setting while pursuing truth, goodness, and beauty. Immersed in our community, students replaced 16,000 hours of rote curriculum with deeper connection, meaning, and growth. 5. By emphasizing truth, goodness, and beauty, we countered the cultural and epistemological crises of the early 21st century. Higher standards for truth tackled misinformation, focusing on the good nurtured flourishing lives, and seeking beauty enriched art and self-actualization. 6. As we grew to more than a million students through virtual and hybrid programs, we launched an open-source platform that spread our model worldwide. Competitors like Montessori, Acton, Prenda, and Alpha adopted stronger virtue cultivation, while classical schools welcomed agency-based learning and broader viewpoints. 7. This global movement revived the Greco-Roman Paideia tradition by placing virtue at the core of modern education. Our approach paved a path for entrepreneurial, creative, and purpose-driven lives, offering young adults a blueprint for healthy personal and family life. 8. Eventually, AI and robots took over dull tasks, freeing people to engage in creative, entrepreneurial pursuits. Most professionals spent their careers improving others’ well-being, forging a culture of meaningful connections and shared prosperity. 9. We helped end the “dark ages” of government-scripted adolescence from 1950 to 2050, ushering in a brighter future. Today, the world rests on a foundation of deeper purpose, resilience, and connection—thanks to the trail we blazed together. Do you resonate with our vision? Book a free trial class for your child:

Education should be inclusive, recognizing that all students learn differently. Arrowsmith’s neuroeducational programs take this a step further by offering cognitive programs for schools to deliver to their own students – intentional and targeted exercises that can be customized to the unique needs and goals of each student.

4. Seeing students embrace their uniqueness 5. Creating classrooms where every brain is valued 6. Watching a child's confidence soar Everyone chases the first list—but it usually ends in disappointment. Instead, let's celebrate the victories in understanding and appreciating neurodiversity. Let's rethink education to empower every learner.

Neurofeedback is revolutionizing the way students learn by helping them boost concentration and performance. This innovative technique trains the brain to regulate its own activity, allowing students to improve their focus, mental clarity, and cognitive performance. Through neurofeedback, students can access new ways to enhance their academic performance by optimizing their brainwave patterns. Whether they are preparing for exams, tackling complex subjects, or simply trying to improve their overall cognitive function, neurofeedback provides a personalized approach to learning. Studies have shown that neurofeedback can benefit students of all ages, helping them develop the mental tools needed to succeed in both academic and real-world challenges. As the education landscape continues to evolve, neurofeedback is becoming a valuable resource for educators, students, and parents alike. #NeurofeedbackInEducation #BrainTraining #BoostLearning #MemoryAndFocus #AcademicSuccess
