The Neurodiverse Network

What The Neurodiverse Network does

The Neurodiverse Network Pty Ltd is an Australian proprietary limited company founded in 2022 and headquartered in West Burleigh, Gold Coast, Queensland, with a 5-person team. It builds DIVERSE, an immersive virtual reality social learning experience designed for preteens aged 7 to 12 diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The product pairs a Meta Oculus VR headset application with a companion smartphone Therapist App, enabling therapists, parents, or guardians to supervise and monitor children in real time during realistic school-scenario simulations. Educational content was developed by clinical psychologists and is structured as guided pre- and post-lesson engagement activities, with modules covering conversation initiation and closure, interest identification, friendship building, and social conflict management, each lasting approximately 10 to 25 minutes.

The company operates a therapist-supervised, in-clinic B2B2C distribution model rather than direct-to-consumer sales. Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed but are inferred to be subscription or licensing fees paid by therapy clinics and healthcare providers, given the enterprise field-sales posture, the requirement for professional supervision, and the absence of consumer pricing on the company website. The Neurodiverse Network is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, partnerships, or patents, and its operating geography is restricted to Australia. The company is COPPA-compliant for handling data of users under 13 and operates under the Australian Privacy Act 1988.

Forward intent, as stated on the company website, is to expand the DIVERSE prototype into adjacent virtual reality products targeting teenagers and adults, with future modules intended to address relationships, employment, and life administration skills. The company currently lists a website, newsletter subscription, and generic social media links, with no disclosed distribution partnerships, customer logos, awards, or funding history.

Direct peers

• Floreo: Floreo delivers VR-based social and communication skills lessons for neurodiverse individuals, including children with autism. It is the closest direct competitor to DIVERSE — same modality (VR), same population (autistic youth), and same use case (social skills training) — making it the most comparable peer.
• Brain Power: Brain Power builds AR/VR tools (often on smart-glass platforms) for autism social and cognitive skills training. Comparable to DIVERSE in population (autistic children/adults), modality (immersive wearable), and clinical orientation.
• PresenceLearning: PresenceLearning provides live, online therapy and evaluations (speech, OT, behavioral health) for K–12 students, including those with autism. Comparable in serving the same therapist-supplied special-needs population via a B2B2C model, though via telehealth rather than VR.
• Rethink Ed: Rethink Ed provides digital tools and on-demand training for special education and behavioral health, used by schools, clinics, and families. Comparable to DIVERSE as a technology-enabled intervention for special-education populations, though delivered via video/web rather than VR.

Emerging players

• Akili Interactive (EndeavorRx): Akili developed EndeavorRx, an FDA-cleared prescription video-game digital therapeutic for pediatric ADHD. Comparable as a clinically validated digital therapeutic for a pediatric neurodevelopmental population — overlapping customer (parents/clinicians) and regulatory pathway.
• Cognoa: Cognoa develops AI-driven diagnostic and therapeutic products for autism, including an FDA-authorized diagnostic. Comparable as a digital health company operating in the autism clinical pathway, with overlap in customer base (pediatricians, therapists, parents).
• AppliedVR: AppliedVR develops VR-based prescription digital therapeutics, with an FDA-authorized product for chronic pain. Comparable as a clinically-oriented VR therapeutics vendor pursuing reimbursement, though focused on pain rather than autism social skills.

Broad incumbents

• XRHealth: XRHealth operates a VR-based telehealth clinic and therapy platform covering rehabilitation, cognitive, and behavioral conditions. Comparable as a broader VR health incumbent pursuing clinic and payor channels, but with a wider therapeutic scope than DIVERSE.
• Penumbra (REAL Immersive System): Penumbra's REAL Immersive System is a clinician-supervised VR rehabilitation platform used in hospitals and rehab facilities. Comparable as a clinically supervised VR therapy product with a healthcare B2B distribution model, though oriented to physical/cognitive rehab rather than ASD.
• BehaVR: BehaVR develops VR-based digital therapeutics for mental health and behavioral health conditions. Comparable as a clinical-grade VR therapy platform, though its focus is broader mental health (anxiety, chronic pain) rather than ASD-specific social skills.
