Question 1

What is NIPE?

Accepted Answer

NIPE is a neuro-inclusive peer-support and emotional first-aid training platform for adolescents, combining gamified simulations with evidence-based frameworks.

Question 2

Who is it designed for?

Accepted Answer

Adolescents aged 11–18, including both neurotypical and neurodiverse learners, plus their educators, facilitators and school leaders.

Question 3

Is NIPE a substitute for therapy?

Accepted Answer

No. NIPE builds peer-support skills like active listening and emotional first aid. It always points users to trained adults and crisis lines when something goes beyond peer support.

Question 4

How is the scenario catalog structured?

Accepted Answer

The catalog is non-exhaustive and growing — branching stories, live-facilitated simulations and VR scenes, organised in four layers from foundational to crisis-response.

Question 5

What makes the platform neuro-inclusive?

Accepted Answer

Modules are co-designed with neurodiverse students, with adjustable sensory settings, multi-modal content, and reciprocal — not hierarchical — roles.

Question 6

Can schools customise modules?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Registered schools get a school community, admin dashboard, and the ability to share case studies with identifying details removed.

Question 7

How are outcomes measured?

Accepted Answer

Each learner sees personal XP, streaks, and a skill profile. Schools see anonymised aggregate progress once enough students have completed scenarios.

Question 8

Where does the reading library come from?

Accepted Answer

Every guide is adapted from public-domain government or intergovernmental sources — WHO, SAMHSA, CDC, NIH — so there is no copyright and it can be shared freely.
