Building the
Platform for
Independence™
Neurodiverse Technologies transforms evidence-based research and innovation into scalable technologies that help neurodiverse individuals build readiness for greater independence — across employment, mobility, independent living, and community participation.
Independence isn't one milestone.
It's a journey.
We're building an interconnected portfolio of technologies that supports the moments that move life forward.
Employment
Technology supporting preparation for and access to meaningful employment.
Mobility
Tools that help individuals build readiness for greater transportation independence.
Independent Living
Technologies supporting skills, confidence, and readiness for everyday life.
Community
Creating pathways toward greater participation, connection, and independence.
Two products. One growing path to independence.
SANDI and NAVIS address different moments in the independence journey — from building readiness for mobility to preparing for meaningful employment.
Driver Readiness
SANDI is a technology-enabled driver readiness platform designed to help neurodivergent individuals and others with cognitive differences develop, practice, and assess skills important for the journey toward independent driving.
Interview Readiness
NAVIS is an immersive interview readiness platform designed to help individuals practice interviews, develop skills, receive feedback, and build confidence before the moments that matter.
Expanding the Independence Journey
NTs is building the infrastructure to commercialize additional evidence-based technologies across employment, mobility, independent living, and community participation.
Innovation shouldn't stop at research. We help move it into the world.
Neurodiverse Technologies operates at the intersection of research, technology, and commercialization — helping transform evidence-based innovation into scalable products that can reach individuals, families, providers, educators, and communities.
