Sadownik Neuro-Inclusive Research Foundation / Fondation de recherche neuro-inclusive Sadownik

Overview 

Sadownik Neuro-Inclusive Research Foundation/ Fondation de recherche neuro-inclusive Sadownik(Corporation #1768646-3) is a federal non-profit research institute dedicated to pioneering ethical innovation at the intersection of neurodiversity and technology. We have a powerful approach. Focusing on strengths rather than deficits while building societal frameworks generally leads to more sustainable and empowering outcomes while developing frameworks that ensure automated environments—such as food processing facilities, smart warehouses, and retail spaces—are designed for cognitive accessibility and psychological safety.

Our Core Frameworks

• NSIR (Neurodivergent Scale for Interacting with Robots): A proprietary validation tool used to measure and optimize human-robot interaction for neurodivergent populations. In the food sector, we use the NSIR to ensure that warehouse robotics and automation tools are sensory-friendly and reduce cognitive fatigue for workers.
• The Sovereign Dyad & Social Exoskeleton: A research framework that positions AI and robotics as “biological social exoskeletons”—mandatory accommodations that protect neurodivergent individuals from “masking debt” in high-speed industrial environments.
• 4-Hall Math & Active Space Design: We provide consultancy on the physical architecture of workplaces, applying neuro-inclusive spatial logic to reduce sensory overload in food production and hospitality settings.

Ethical Commitment Guided by the principles of “Crip Technoscience,” our foundation is governed by a strict Non-Exploitation Clause. We ensure that any technology we validate is used to empower and protect the autonomy of neurodivergent individuals, prohibiting the use of our tools for manipulative or coercive productivity tracking.

Partnering with Us We offer “Deep Validation” services for food-tech innovators, MedTech developers, and automation engineers looking to meet high ESG (Social) standards. We help our partners transition from “normative” design to neuro-inclusive sustainability.

• Primary Sector: Technology & Equipment.
• Sub-Sectors: Robotics & Automation, Artificial Intelligence, Digital Solutions.
• Specialties: User Experience (UX), Workforce Health & Safety, Inclusive Design.
• Workforce Retention:  the NSIR reduces “masking debt” and turnover in high-speed warehouse environments.
• Safety Compliance:  Neuro-Inclusive Audits are a necessary safety standard for Human-Robot Interaction on the factory floor.
• ESG Reporting: Our services as a way for companies to document their “Social” impact for neurodivergent employees and customers.
• Affiliation with Innovation Factory and IPON

Secteur primaire : Technologie et équipement Sous-secteurs : Robotique et automatisation, Intelligence artificielle, Solutions numériques Spécialités : Expérience utilisateur (UX), Santé et sécurité au travail, Conception inclusive

Valeur ajoutée pour l’industrie :

• Rétention de la main-d’œuvre : L’échelle NSIR réduit la « dette de camouflage » (masking debt) et le roulement du personnel dans les environnements d’entrepôt à haute cadence.
• Conformité en matière de sécurité : Nos audits neuro-inclusifs constituent une norme de sécurité essentielle pour l’interaction humain-robot sur le plancher de production.
• Rapports ESG : Nos services permettent aux entreprises de documenter leur impact « Social » auprès des employés et clients neurodivergents.
• Affiliations : Partenaire de l’Innovation Factory et d’IPON (Propriété intellectuelle Ontario).

Board of Directors: Roles in Research and IP

The individuals listed as directors or incorporators in the documents are:

• Dr Stephanie Ann Sadownik (Ontario)

Dr. Sadownik’s (PhD from UofT/OISE, OCT member, and Research Fellow at the Pillar Foundation) is a board member who bridges the gap between high-level academic research and practical, community-focused implementation.

Research Oversight & Ethical Governance

As a PhD-level researcher with expertise in Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning, Dr. Sadownik oversees:

• Methodological Integrity: Ensuring that the organization’s research frameworks (like the societal models we are developing) are academically rigorous and ethically sound.
• Surveillance & Privacy: Given her published research on “External Research Surveillance in Schools,” she is a key voice in how the company collects and uses qualitative data while maintaining the dignity of the participants.
• Asset-Based Inquiry: Shifting the research focus from “gap analysis” (what’s wrong) to “asset mapping” (what’s working).
