When learners understand how they think and what supports they need, they build confidence, autonomy, and the skills to shape their own educational journey.

AI can make students stronger or more dependent. This is especially true for neurodivergent children, whose success in the AI era depends on learning to express themselves clearly, think flexibly, and plan independently. At My Learning Labs, we believe AI’s greatest power in education isn’t in doing the work. It’s in helping every child learn how to think for themselves. 👉 Read how AI can build independence, not dependence.

California’s SB 243 is the first state law requiring AI chatbots to be transparent, non-addictive, and safe for minors. It ensures users always know when they’re speaking with AI and that systems follow strict boundaries around sensitive topics like self-harm or sexuality. For educators and parents, it’s a milestone for responsible AI in learning. At My Learning Labs, these values have guided us from the start: empowering students through ethical, transparent, and supportive

Many neurodivergent students experience school-related anxiety that stems less from fear itself and more from underdeveloped executive function (EF) skills: planning, organization, attention, and flexibility. This paper argues that addressing EF, not just anxiety symptoms, is key to reducing stress and empowering these learners to succeed with confidence.
