Their Story
Austin and Kyle started CanDueTm to have an impact on students with executive function issues. Austin, Kyle’s brother, has auditory processing issues, ADD and executive function challenges. Despite Austin’s genuine desire to do well in school and hard work, Kyle witnessed his brother’s frustrations and the inordinate amount of time that was spent planning his daily homework schedule rather than spending time studying the academic content itself. He had challenges with setting priorities, determining steps to start and complete assignments and making a schedule. There were periods of frustration between their supportive parents and him. Kyle believed there must be a better way…
With input from educators, technology professionals, students and parents, Austin and Kyle developed CanDueTm to help students to prioritize, plan, schedule and remind students of homework tasks and assignments. As always, parents, teachers, educational specialists and tutors will need to be involved in assisting students with executive function issues but technology can help!
