Koda Compass is being built by a parent who lived every gap in the system: the $3,500 evaluations, the months-long IEP delays, the disconnected tutors. One platform, designed from the ground up for children with dyslexia, ADHD, and other neurodivergent profiles.
No spam. We'll only email you about Koda's launch and occasional updates from the founder.
One in five children has dyslexia. One in nine has ADHD. The standard path to support runs through $3,500 private neuropsychological evaluations or 18-to-24-month school waitlists, followed by IEPs that arrive months later and intervention services that arrive months after that.
Most families never reach the end of that path. The kids who need help the most fall behind every day they wait. There is a better way — and the technology to deliver it has only existed for the last 24 months.
We're disciplined about scope. The MVP ships four core modules deeply, rather than seven thinly. Each one solves a specific failure point families live through today.
Adaptive screening modeled on CTOPP-2, WISC-V, and Brown EF frameworks. An accessible alternative to the $3,500 / 18-month wait — continuous screening that generates a learning profile parents can take to clinicians and schools.
The profile that drives everything else. An AI Guide builds each child's custom learning journey, routes them to the right OG level and EF support intensity, and adapts as they grow. The static IEP, made living.
Daily-use reading instruction based on Orton-Gillingham principles with AI-scored pronunciation, structured math using the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) approach, and a writing coach — wrapped in Koda the time-traveling explorer. Curriculum kids actually want to return to.
The student's chief of staff. Auto-populates Koda Calendar, breaks complex projects into Jira-style sub-tasks, sends parent escalation alerts, and gives families real-time visibility into school work — every day, not every quarter.
"My son needed progressive support in multiple areas every single day. If AI could close the gap, he wouldn't fall behind. So I built it."
When our family entered the system, we discovered it was designed to fail. The first evaluation was a COVID-era nightmare that captured only weaknesses. The second cost another $3,500. The IEP took over a month to finalize, longer to implement.
By the time support arrived, we'd lost months. The school couldn't accommodate everything. So we hired an Orton-Gillingham tutor. A writing coach. An executive functioning coach. A math tutor. Each in their own silo. None talking to each other.
By 6th grade, I had spent years watching the system fail my son and millions of children like him. Koda Compass is what should have existed when my son was 7. It will exist for the next family.
We ship the MVP this seed. The expanded vision unlocks as families and schools adopt the platform — capital follows traction, not the other way around.
