"Engaging the extraordinary is easier"
A system and guide for neurodiverse audience engagement.
AfterSchoolHouse was created to address a fundamental challenge in education: neurodiverse learners—including students with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other learning differences—often struggle in traditional educational settings not because they can't learn, but because the way content is delivered doesn't match how their brains are wired.
Our mission is simple but transformative: make learning accessible, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable for neurodiverse audiences. We believe that when you design for neurodiversity from the start, everyone benefits.
Our flagship Computer Guides deliver bite-sized, multi-sensory learning experiences. Each guide combines text, audio narration, visual elements, and interactive features to engage multiple learning pathways simultaneously.
We provide comprehensive guides for teachers, parents, and after-school program leaders, offering practical, evidence-based strategies for creating neurodiversity-affirming environments and engaging neurodiverse students.
We reject deficit-based thinking. Instead, we focus on the unique strengths, talents, and ways of thinking that neurodiverse individuals bring. Our approach assumes competence and builds on what students CAN do.
Our innovative permission-based advertising system respects learner autonomy while creating sustainable revenue streams. Students choose when and how to engage with sponsor content, maintaining focus and reducing overwhelm.
Antone Ade is the creator of AfterSchoolHouse Genaris Guides. With a deep commitment to neurodiversity acceptance and inclusion, Antone developed the Genaris framework to address the systemic barriers that neurodiverse learners face in traditional educational settings.
Recognizing that neurodiverse students often disengage not from lack of ability but from content delivery that doesn't match their cognitive processing, Antone created a system that works WITH how neurodiverse brains naturally function.
The AfterSchoolHouse philosophy centers on a simple but powerful belief: "Engaging the extraordinary is easier"when we design with neurodiversity in mind from the start.
We celebrate neurological differences as natural human variation, not deficits to be fixed. ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other neurodivergent traits bring unique strengths and perspectives.
We always assume that learners are capable and intelligent, regardless of how they communicate or demonstrate understanding. This shapes everything we create.
When we design for neurodiversity from the start, everyone benefits. Flexibility, choice, and multiple pathways support all learners, not just those labeled "neurodiverse."
Our strategies are grounded in research and lived experience. We provide actionable tools that teachers, parents, and program leaders can implement immediately, without extensive training or resources.
