Screen-free AI for SEND and primary settings

Screen-free AI wearable 
for inclusive reading and
oral language support

SEND learners who need personalised AI support most are often those most vulnerable to screen-based learning environments. CurioCam™ is a context-aware, voice-first wearable designed to maintain access to personalized support without increasing cognitive load and screen-related harms.

THE   CONTEXT

Why screen-free AI matters now

Most assistive tools add screen time and complexity — clashing with inclusive practice and reading routines. Read our article on the AI Accessibility Paradox to explore the thinking behind CurioCam screen-free AI modality.

Independence in SEND
Oral Language Deficit
Evidence Without Overhead
Responsible AI Exploration
