Discover. Learn. Explore. Grow.
Koda Compass is the first end-to-end AI learning companion built specifically for dyslexic, ADHD, and neurodivergent learners — and the parents and teachers who support them. Clinically grounded. Always with the child.
Every day they wait for support, they fall further behind.
42M people, mostly undiagnosed
11.4% of US children · CDC 2024
with 6–18 month waitlists
kids fall years behind during the wait
Teachers manage 25–30 kids. By the time an IEP is in place, a child has lost a full school year.
Orton-Gillingham tutors $80–$200/hr. EF coaches $100–$150/hr. Math tutors. Out of reach for 80% of families.
Khan, Lexia, IXL are built for the typical learner. They miss working memory deficits, processing speed, and EF challenges.
Parents only learn their child is struggling at parent-teacher conferences — every three months — when it's already too late to course-correct.
Real-time intervention from kindergarten through middle school — clinically grounded, always with the child.
Continuous AI evaluation
Replace the $3,500 / 18-month wait with adaptive AI screening modeled on neuropsychological methodology. Long-term: virtual neuropsych panel with licensed clinicians.
Personalized AI tutor
Koda the time-traveling explorer guides every child through reading, writing, math, history, science, and culture — adapting in real time to how they learn.
Real-time village
AI Chief of Staff for the child. Real-time dashboards for teachers and parents. Closing the gap that currently makes neurodivergent kids fall behind every day.
Discipline at the seed stage — ship four modules deeply rather than seven thinly. Modules 5–7 follow on the post-seed roadmap.
Adaptive AI screening, 30–45 minutes, age-calibrated K–8 across six cognitive domains. CTOPP-2, WISC-V, Brown EF, and DIBELS-aligned. Generates IEP/504-formatted reports families can take to school meetings.
Synthesizes evaluation results into a living, adapting curriculum journey. Routes each child to the right Orton-Gillingham level, pace, and modality. Re-renders weekly based on real performance — not annual review cycles.
Twelve-level structured literacy with Whisper voice scoring — what private tutors charge $200/hr to deliver. Embedded in Koda the time-traveling explorer's quest world: 40+ destinations, passport stamps, boss battles.
The student's chief of staff. Class listening, end-of-day summaries, Koda Calendar with auto-population, project decomposition for ADHD learners, parent escalation alerts. Externalized EF for kids whose brains can't yet do it internally.
Every module is anchored in established frameworks. Independent validation studies planned for Phase 2 with university research partners.
We knew our son was falling behind in school, but we didn't know why or how to get him the support he needed.
We were told the first step was a neuropsychological evaluation. It took nearly six months to get an appointment and cost over $3,500. Then came another two months waiting for the report, another month to schedule meetings with the school, and more time to develop an individualized learning plan.
While the system moved slowly, my child kept falling further behind.
Once support finally began, we entered a fragmented world of Orton-Gillingham tutoring, executive functioning coaching, math tutoring, reading apps, accommodations, and school interventions. Every provider worked independently. Nothing was connected. There was no real-time visibility into progress, no daily reinforcement, and no unified system helping him improve consistently.
Tutors cost hundreds of dollars each week. Schools did what they could, but support was limited and often delayed. Then months later, during a parent-teacher conference near the end of the semester, we would hear the same thing again:
"He's still behind."
By then, another school year was nearly gone.
The cycle repeated itself — updated evaluations, revised accommodations, new interventions, more waiting, more cost, and more lost time.
As a father, it was heartbreaking.
As someone who has spent more than 20 years building enterprise technology solutions through Mash Technology Group, I saw the problem differently. The issue wasn't a lack of caring teachers or dedicated specialists. The issue was that the system was reactive, disconnected, and incapable of supporting children in real time, every single day.
My son needed progressive support across multiple areas continuously — not weeks or months later.
That realization became the foundation for Koda Compass.
We built Koda Compass to become the platform we wished existed when our son was 7 years old: an AI-powered, connected learning support system designed to help children daily across reading, writing, executive functioning, confidence building, organization, and personalized learning reinforcement.
Every module inside Koda Compass solves a real problem our family personally experienced.
This is more than software. It's the system we needed — and the one millions of families still do.
And impossible just twenty-four months ago.
We're recruiting families through advocacy partners — Decoding Dyslexia, IDA, CHADD — for our closed beta. If you parent a child with dyslexia, ADHD, or another neurodivergent profile, we'd love to have you.
