    Empowering Neurodivergent Learners: Priya Tronsgard on Building Edify Learning Spaces

    🎙️ In the latest episode of the Small Tech Podcast, we talk with Priya Tronsgard, the founder of Edify Learning Spaces. Edify is a platform that connects neurodivergent children with tutors who understand their unique learning needs. Priya’s journey is personal. As a mother of neurodivergent kids, she saw how hard it was for them to fit into traditional schools. This inspired her to create Edify, where kids with ADHD, autism, and other learning differences can get the support they need. Her entrepreneurial experience started young. Priya helped run a DJ business to support her family. This early experience taught her the importance of focusing on customers and resilience. Priya also spent five years in Japan, working in education. There, she learned about different teaching methods and the value of adapting to cultural contexts. These insights have shaped how she runs Edify. At Edify, Priya blends technology with personalized teaching. The platform carefully matches kids with the right tutors, ensuring they get the best possible support. Even as a non-technical founder, Priya leverages strong community relationships to navigate the tech world. Looking ahead, Priya is excited about growing Edify. She aims to expand its reach and continue supporting more families with her innovative approach. Priya’s story is a powerful example of how personal experiences can drive professional success and create positive change. Through Edify, she’s making a real difference in the lives of neurodivergent children and their families. 📚 Learn more about Edify Learning Spaces here!https://edifylearningspaces.com/ 🗣️ Get a FREE consultation here!https://goec.io/contact-us/ 🚀 Subscribe to the podcast:https://smalltechpodcast.com/subscribe ✉️ Subscribe to the newsletter:https://s.goec.io/stp-newsletter 🎥 Watch on YouTube:https://s.goec.io/stp-youtube 📄 Read the EC blog:https://s.goec.io/ec-blog 🛠️ Need help building something?https://s.goec.io/build-together

    Building Tech to Help Kids Learn to Read: Janessa Farrell's QuestRead Journey

    Welcome to another episode of the Small Tech Podcast! Today, we have Janessa Farrell, an inspiring guest who has turned her passion for teaching into a tech startup. Janessa is the co-founder and CEO of QuestRead, a fun reading game for kids that helps improve their reading skills. Questread was recently accepted into the Ocean Programs Accelerator Cohort 10, a big step for the app's growth. Janessa taught in Title I schools in Chicago for 15 years, working with kids who struggled with reading. She noticed that motivation was key to their success, so she created QuestRead to make reading more engaging. Her journey into tech began when the pandemic stopped her plans for further education. Instead, she volunteered at Simbi, a reading platform, where she eventually became the head of product. This role gave her the skills she needed to build QuestRead. Janessa's story shows the power of perseverance and adaptability. Her commitment to helping kids read better through technology is truly inspiring.
