Neurodivergent Student Toolkit
Note-taking, reading comprehension, essay writing, and exam revision from GCSE through university
This is a complete, step-by-step AI workflow you can set up yourself. Each step names the tool, explains exactly what it does for you, and shows what it costs. Work through them in order, or take only the steps that fit.
