Empowering All Learners

At Atypical we believe all students can learn and excel with the right support. That’s why we build learning experiences that support all kinds of learners and all kinds of minds. An important part of that is making sure our platform is technically accessible to all, as well as taking an inclusive approach to learning design. As we grow and develop, we are always iterating and improving the accessibility of our platform.

We are dedicated to continuously improving the accessibility and inclusivity of our platform. As we evolve, we actively look for ways to better support all learners, ensuring our platform meets diverse needs. We are always open to feedback on how our platform could be more accessible and inclusive, and the best way to learn and improve is by hearing from you, our users. If you have suggestions or notice areas that should be more accessible, please let us know by contacting us.
