About Us

Who We Are

About LuNova

Our Story

Born from a belief that every child deserves to shine.

LuNova was founded in 2026 by a small group of educators, designers, and advocates who saw a critical gap in resources available to neurodivergent children in Vietnam. With limited access to specialized tools and support systems, many children were falling through the cracks of a system not yet built for them.

We started with a simple question: What if we designed something just for them? That question became our Gearboard project — and the beginning of LuNova.

Inclusion

We design every program and tool with accessibility and neurodiversity at the center — not as an afterthought.

Innovation

We look for creative, research-backed solutions to problems that traditional organizations have overlooked.

❋

Community

We work alongside local families and educators, not above them. Real change starts from within the community.
