I am diagnosed with ADHD and giftedness (AH/SD), and I never fit into the traditional education model. In Brazil, education represents a significant institutional gap. I was fortunate to attend some of the best schools and universities in my country, yet I still cannot say I fit in perfectly. I had to learn how to adapt and create my own, non-traditional learning paths. I am aware that I have been privileged, but even the top educational institutions in Brazil are still not adapted to personalized learning.
In Brazil, studies in public schools have found an ADHD prevalence of 13% among elementary school students (Fontana et al., 2007). This is just one of the conditions that make up neurodivergence. When you add dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder, and giftedness, we are talking about at least 1 in every 5 students in any given classroom. According to data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), only 31.6% of children with disabilities are enrolled in regular schools (IBGE, 2019) — and those who are rarely receive any systematic pedagogical adaptation, due to the lack of accessible tools for teachers.
Altaria enables this level of personalized learning, providing access to high-quality materials and structured learning pathways, giving autonomy to students and practical tools for teachers.
When the student interacts with the platform, every click, every pause, every attempt is recorded and analyzed. The artificial intelligence doesn’t just evaluate whether an answer was right or wrong — it identifies how that brain is processing information: the pace, the level of effort, attention patterns, and the moment when something transitions from short-term to long-term memory. As a result, each student automatically receives a learning path built specifically for them.
The content adapts in real time. If the system identifies that a student learns better through visual resources and short interactions, that’s what they receive. If it detects reading difficulties, it adjusts the format and activates audio narration. The platform doesn’t need a formal diagnosis to do this — it learns through behavior.
Teachers gain time and clarity. The dashboard shows, in real time, who needs attention, why, and how to intervene. Tasks that used to take hours — identifying learning gaps, tracking individual progress, generating reports for neurodivergent students — happen automatically. Studies on platforms with similar architectures show savings of up to one full working day per week per teacher.
The result is proven: when education adapts to the student — not the other way around — outcomes improve. Not just for some. For everyone.
Altaria begins with the municipal public school network of Vinhedo, São Paulo — a free pilot with centralized enrollment through the Department of Education, providing simultaneous access to all students in the network at no cost to the municipality.
Expansion follows three paths. First, the institutional model: a single Technical Cooperation Agreement covers the entire municipal network — no bidding process, no financial transfer required. Neighboring municipalities replicate the model based on the results from Vinhedo. Second, evidence: data from the pilot is published as scientific research, generating credibility for new public and private adoptions.
In the long term, each new student makes the platform more precise — creating a competitive advantage that grows with usage.
We use the OpenStax library as a didactic resource and theoretical foundation for our platform's approach to personalized learning. This gives our adaptive learning engines the freedom to personalize content while maintaining coherence and the assurance of presenting only factually accurate information.
