Building AI-Made Tools to Support Neurodivergent Needs

Mr. Spencer Healey

Spencer Healey failed out of his first attempt at university, was diagnosed with ADHD, and spent years rejecting the diagnosis, before going on to earn two master’s degrees. Since 2020, he has coached students and adults through ADHD Canada. His work is driven by one question: what would his professors have needed to do to help a student like him flourish?

Session Description:

What if you could build an app to help one specific student? What if the tool you longed for was available today? What if a syllabus didn’t die in a backpack, but actually connected to Google Calendar? All of this is possible with AI—just not with a chatbot. In this session, Spencer shares how he used AI coding assistants to build a customized coaching dashboard for his ADHD coaching practice, with no programming background.

Session Outline:

• Why AI chatbots fall short
• Using AI to build websites, dashboards, and tools
• How to make appropriate AI use attractive to students
