This short talk was recorded for the Not One Way: Reimagining Uni, Exploring Possibilities symposium in January 2026.

It shares a bit about why I started Capiche and some of the principles I'm using to build it.

I’m a technologist and the parent of a neurodivergent child.

Too often, writing fluency is mistaken for intelligence.

In schools and universities, writing becomes the gatekeeper to participation.

If getting words onto the page is hard, good ideas can get missed.

So the question behind Capiche is simple:

What should tools actually do to support neurodivergent students?

It’s not a pitch.

Just the thinking so far, and an open invitation to learn together.
