This week, Adaptiverse crossed a big milestone: more than 800 lessons created on the platform. What we’re seeing isn’t just numbers — it’s a shift. Educators and parents who used to feel like they were constantly battling broken systems are now becoming empowered advocates. And every single lesson represents something powerful: a nonspeaking learner accessing grade-level content with their competence presumed.
What the Data Shows Us
These lessons aren’t hypothetical. With 69 active users averaging over 12 lessons each, we’re watching real educators adapt real content for real classrooms. The patterns that emerge challenge almost every assumption the market has about how nonspeaking autistic learners can and should be taught.
STEM takes the lead.
- Science/STEM: 53.8%
- Disability, Communication & SEL: 40.5%
- History & Social Studies: 4.3%
- Language Arts: 0.8%
- Arts & Music: 0.5%
The dominance of science and math is not what most people expect. But it’s proof of what we’ve always believed: nonspeaking learners want rigor. They don’t need watered-down content — they need scaffolding that unlocks access to sophisticated ideas.
When adaptation happens.
Most lessons are created between 10 AM and 3 PM, during planning periods and school hours. In other words, teachers are using Adaptiverse as part of their workflow, not as an after-hours scramble. As Becky Griffin from Advancing Life Learners put it:
“This has been life-changing. Instead of working 60 hours a week creating lessons and feeling frazzled with the kids, I can now focus on teaching.”
How fast it works.
On average, an educator inputs 2,500 words of content and, in under a minute, gets back a fully adapted lesson with multiple layers of scaffolding. It’s not simplification. It’s transformation — preserving complexity while providing communication supports.
What We’ve Learned from 800 Lessons
- Experience matters. Our AI isn’t off-the-shelf. It’s been built and refined for months alongside autism education experts so that outputs match the nuances educators actually need.
- Community drives quality. With 500+ trained professionals at Reach Every Voice already shaping the methodology, every new lesson strengthens the model.
- Time savings compound. Reclaiming even one hour a day from adaptation work reshapes entire workflows — freeing teachers to teach.
- Competence at scale. The surge in STEM lessons proves that when we presume competence, learners rise to the challenge.
Why This Matters
We’re not just building software. We’re building evidence at scale — documenting what works for nonspeaking learners in a way the field has never seen before. Every lesson adds to a collective knowledge base that will reshape how special education approaches access and equity.
If you join Adaptiverse, you’re not just a user. You’re part of a movement — one that shows the world what’s possible when we provide the right supports and hold high expectations.
