Anecdota is an interactive learning platform that adapts children’s stories into modules designed for neurodivergent youth. Through narrative-based learning and built-in comprehension checks, it supports executive functioning and social cognition skills in a more engaging and accessible way. Developed in collaboration with students, educators, and support staff, the platform focuses on improving the learning process itself, helping learners build understanding through interaction rather than passive instruction.
