Every school is required to produce a SEN Information Report each year to be published on the school website. The SENDCo has to answer a series of questions set out in The Code of Practice. Ivanhoe would love to hear your feedback on this year's report. Does it answer your questions about SEND? Do any sections need to be clearer? Have we missed anything?

Task management tool for neurodiverse students

vjohnson90 — 2025-02-26 10:38:16 UTC

goblin.tools is a collection of small, simple, single-task tools, mostly designed to help neurodivergent people with tasks they find overwhelming or difficult.

Most tools will use AI technologies in the back-end to achieve their goals. This includes models from different providers, both open and closed source. We're committed to using Ethical models where possible.

The AI models used are general purpose models, and so the accuracy of their output can vary. Nothing returned by any of the tools should be taken as a statement of truth, only guesswork. Please use your own knowledge and experience to judge whether the result you get is valid.

goblin.tools is offered free and available to all. It will stay free without ads or paywalls. Mobile apps of the tools are offered at a low price (on Android and iOS), which will help cover the running and maintenance costs so the website can stay completely free. Keeping the tools freely available in a convenient form is a foundational principle to us.

goblin.tools is written and maintained by Bram De Buyser, an AI, software and data engineer.
