AI‑Powered Early Identification and Learning Support for Neurodivergent Children in El Salvador

The general objective of this TC is to pilot an AI-based neurodevelopmental screening and intervention tool in El Salvador's public schools to improve early identification of and support for neurodivergent students. The specific objectives are: (i) to adapt and validate the AI-powered neurodivergent screening and intervention platform for the Salvadoran school context; (ii) to implement school-based screening and targeted interventions for students identified with ASD or ADHD; and (iii) to assess the platform's effectiveness and feasibility through a rigorous randomized controlled trial and generate evidence-based recommendations for potential regional scale-up.
