Explore.Cosmo Cosmo is an interactive learning system that combines movement, play, engagement and inclusive learning through structured, play-based activities.

Our first product, Cosmo, embodies the next generation of accessibility input devices: connected, modular and highly customisable. Cosmo is an award-winning and evidence-based versatile system for therapy and learning designed by teachers and therapists for fellow professionals. Cosmo is a set of tactile controllers that use dynamic sensors, light up, and adjust their colours. They connect wirelessly with the Cosmo Training app, which contains interactive games and musical exercises to support engagement, sensory integration, expression and socialisation. We designed Cosmo with the help of over 70 therapy and education professionals, Birmingham and Goldsmith's Universities, the Athens Centre for Cerebral Palsy and the National Rehabilitation Centre of Greece. We have created Cosmo because we realised that technology and interaction design could help students of all abilities learn, express themselves and interact with others. Cosmo, the first connected system, is designed to help children train their academic, communication and motor skills through play and storytelling. We realise that people with Additional Learning Needs have unique needs and abilities. That is why we worked hard to make Cosmo highly customisable and versatile by hosting numerous activities and using Machine Learning to continuously adapt to the user's comfort zone.

“They thought it was their teaching. They thought they were the ones that had the problem.”

When teachers see something in their classroom and assume it’s them, evidence can help. But only if they can see themselves in it.

That’s why, when we make case studies, we show the reality of the classroom. When a teacher watches and thinks “my pupil does that too”, the evidence becomes real, and the conversation becomes normal.

Did it reach the child?

Access to assistive technology among primary teachers jumped from 34% in 2023 to 60% in 2025 (DfE, Technology in schools survey, November 2025). But only 22% of leaders said they had a formal plan for evaluating their edtech.

On Every Learner, Nici Foote asks the question that comes after the purchase: how do you know it made a difference? And if you didn’t capture pupil voice and belonging, did you really capture the story at all?

Connect Cosmo Dots to GarageBand
just did it!

No setup needed. Press, pick GarageBand in the Cosmo app, choose a sound, and it’s ready to go. And because each student decides whether to tap or hold, they control how long every note lasts, and get to add more of their own musical ideas.

Thank you for sharing this. We can’t wait to see what you find next! 💜

Why does so much school technology end up in a cupboard?

Nici Foote’s answer: it’s rarely the tech. It’s capacity. Who keeps it charged? Who books it for 3B on a Tuesday morning? Who makes sure it’s back, plugged in and ready for 4B the next day?

That’s why, when we built Cosmo, plug and play was the priority, along with teacher training that actually works for teachers.

Before your school spends its inclusion funding, ask the cupboard question: who will make sure this gets used every week?

“It was the first time that certain children could be in the room together.”

In this episode of Every Learner, Nici Foote asks a question every school should be asking: which students are consistently removed from class, why, and what are we giving them instead?

Her focus isn’t a SEND label. It’s activities that include everyone, not in different tiers, so children can take part together.

Every Learner is a series of conversations around learning, therapy and inclusion powered by Cosmo.

In this episode of Every Learner, Nici Foote, founder of Unbarrierme, sits with us to explore what real inclusion looks like in classrooms, what schools often misunderstand, and why belonging means more than simply being present. We discuss DfE inclusion funding and how schools can spend it wisely to make a meaningful difference for learners.

“The system doesn’t work for me because I’m not normal.”

That’s what Ana believed growing up. Then she realised it was never her. It was a system “that serves only certain people and only certain pupils.”

Everyone is unique. And as Nici Foote explains in episode 1 of Every Learner, nobody learns well in a room where they don’t feel they belong.

Inclusion money that never reaches a child isn’t inclusion.

🎧 Watch Full Episode: Link in Bio

Every mainstream school in England now has new inclusion funding. The risk, as we say in episode 1 of Every Learner, is that it becomes “another procurement exercise” instead of something that changes schools and pupils.

So here’s the question for every school this term: where is our inclusion money going?
