Akiva Systems Inc. is an education technology company that delivers consistent, cost-effective and accessible therapy for neurodivergent children. By leveraging Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), Akiva creates immersive, personalized learning experiences that break down barriers to education and therapy. Our comprehensive platform is designed to meet a lifetime of educational, behavioural, and vocational needs. Akiva revolutionizes support for neurodivergent individuals and improves outcomes for countless families.
Akiva utilizes technologies like VR and AI to provide personalized and effective support. Once the child is connected to the Akiva system, real-time data is continuously collected to monitor their progress and interactions.
This data-driven approach allows Akiva to create a custom education program tailored to the child's needs, ensuring the content and learning strategies align with their development. The child then learns through immersive VR modules that match their preferred learning style. These modules provide a safe and controlled environment where the child can practice new skills and behaviours, enhancing their learning experience.
Akiva aims to serve all stakeholders involved in a neurodiverse child’s journey.
“You can see everything! It is not like looking through the phone!... I would play it every day because it teaches you how to write and speak!”
- Vadia Grant (10 years old)
"I would definitely recommend Akiva. He [her son] was fully entertained and was learning at the same time."
- Shawna Krivoy (Parent of a child with autism)
“With the Akiva program, I can be much more efficient than instead of driving my kid around most of the time. And it's helping him extremely.”
- Marcia Bouvier (Parent of a child with autism)
Overarching Problem: There is an increasing demand for support that current ASD therapy practices cannot support. 1 in 36 children are being diagnosed with ASD. This continued rise in diagnosis has created a growing demand for support. However, underlying challenges are hindering access to the essential support required by children with ASD.
Underlying Problems:
Due to the mosaic of underlying problems, neurodiverse children and their related stakeholders face unintended consequences that ultimately hinder their journey. For instance:
North America has the largest global market share of 57%, in the USA alone about 6.8 million children require ASD-related therapies.
Additionally, the global VR market was valued at $16.02 billion in 2024. Future growth in the VR market is forecasted to be attributed to education use cases and the lowering of headset costs.
Akiva is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the tailwinds in both the ASD and VR markets. By addressing the specific needs of visual learners and leveraging the rapid growth in the VR market, Akiva has the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals with ASD while capturing a significant share of this growing market.

How The Product Works:
Akiva utilizes technologies like VR and AI to provide personalized and effective support. Once the child is connected to the Akiva system, real-time data is continuously collected to monitor their progress and interactions. This data-driven approach allows Akiva to create a custom education program tailored to the child's needs, ensuring the content and learning strategies align with their development. The child then learns through immersive VR avatar modules that match their preferred learning style. These modules provide a safe, manageable, and controlled environment where the child can practice new skills and behaviors, enhancing their learning experience.
In collaboration with ASD agencies and content producers, Akiva ensures that the learning materials are of the highest quality and are continuously updated to reflect the latest research and best practices in ASD education and therapy. This integrated approach empowers children with ASD to achieve their full potential. Akiva’s holistic process supports a child’s educational journey and equips caregivers with the tools to foster long-term success.
Underlying Tech:
VR allows for the simulation of real-world situations where children can practice coping skills in a controlled and safe environment. This technology is especially beneficial for gradual exposure therapy, helping children manage anxiety and develop critical life skills.
AI and ML are integral to Akiva’s analytics capabilities, providing data-driven reports that track a child's progress. The platform’s AI-driven predictive analysis helps determine when a child may achieve specific learning milestones. This technology supports the child’s development and provides healthcare providers with the insights needed.
