- [Beyond Eyeballs: Pay for Outcomes, Not Addiction](https://curajoy.org/blog/beyond-eyeballs-pay-for-outcomes-not-addiction/): After several high-stakes responsible-tech applications and helping my daughters through college applications, I finally took a Monday off. Sauna. Cold plunge. Steam. Massage. Except…everywhere the blue light from screens stole the stillness. Signs on the changing room doors banned phones; guests had signed waivers agreeing to it; steam rooms could damage devices. None of it mattered. I counted 26 of 29 people on their phones—while paying to escape them.This is the core problem. We are wrapped in a blanket of addictive tech, across devices, apps, schools, workplaces, homes, and even spas. It shouldn’t be surprising that when the dominant revenue model pays for attention, systems will be optimized to pull us back in, regardless of context.
- [How curaJOY started](https://curajoy.org/blog/how-curajoy-started/): For over five years, behavior therapists, counselors, and social workers came into our home 3 to 5 hours at a time, five days a week. My neurotypical daughter flipped out one day and said, “Mom, can we just have one dinner alone without somebody watching us?” I remember sobbing uncontrollably at church, away from the watchful eyes of my kids, feeling crushed between the multimillion-dollar deals I had just made, with people who staked their careers on me, and the crumbling, suffering mess at home. Despite every available help from the government, healthcare, and school systems, I eventually almost lost my daughter. I’ll give my daughters, who are both thriving now, the choice to share what happened when it’s no longer so raw and when they’re ready.
- [Youth Cyberbullying: What 160 Young People told us](https://curajoy.org/blog/youth-cyberbullying-what-160-young-people-told-us/): Cyberbullying is one of the most pressing challenges facing young people today. To better understand its impact and explore what kinds of support actually help, we conducted a Youth Cyberbullying Support and Intervention Survey with 120 respondents. The results reveal both the scale of the issue and the types of solutions youth believe in most.
- [What Type of Cyberbullying Hurts the Most?](https://curajoy.org/blog/what-type-of-cyberbullying-hurts-the-most/): Our lives are more online than ever and while digital spaces connect us, they also expose young people to toxic interactions that can leave long-term scars. To better understand the impact, the curaJOY Impact fellows conducted a anonymous survey asking youth:
- [Look At Me When I’m Talking to You”: Why Phone Bans Fail and What to Do Instead](https://curajoy.org/blog/centering-student-voices-in-school-phone-policy-debates/): I get why some people roll their eyes at yet another adult talking about phones. So let’s start with music, not school. Artists from Adele to Bob Dylan have tried “no-phone” shows, and Sabrina Carpenter recently said she’s seriously considering it after experiencing the difference at a Silk Sonic concert. “It might piss off my fans,” she joked, “but it felt better to be present.”
- [Research in College: 6 Inspiring Lessons I Learned](https://curajoy.org/blog/research-in-college-6-inspiring-lessons-2/): What does “college research” actually mean? Before this summer, I thought it was just a buzzword — something tour guides bragged about and brochures plastered across glossy photos. Then I spent ten weeks at Argonne National Lab doing high-performance computing research, and it clicked. I worked on integrating AMD’s GPU library (RCCL) into MPICH, one of the most widely used tools for supercomputing. Translation: I was helping CPUs and GPUs “text” each other more efficiently, the way iPhones and Androids don’t always play nice in group chats. It was confusing at first — alphabet soup acronyms, debugging crashes, navigating huge codebases — but slowly, it turned into one of the most rewarding learning curves I’ve ever had. What surprised me most is that research isn’t about already knowing everything. It’s about asking questions, making mistakes, and bringing your own perspective — even my ballet background ended up helping me stand out. I still don’t know if I’ll go into academia or industry, but I know this: research is less about having answers and more about being willing to look for them.
- [5 Things I’ve Learned in the Impact Fellowship](https://curajoy.org/blog/5-things-ive-learned-in-the-impact-fellowship/): For those of you who don’t know, I’m in curaJOY’s impact fellowship. We are creating an annotated data set, algorithm, and intervention system for cyberbullying. It will be the first one of its kind made 100% by gen z. Our hope is that with our lived experience of the modern world, we will be able to create an AI model more accurate at catching harassment online. Being in this fellowship was certainly an experience that changed me for the better, and gave me a glimpse into what the professional world is like. These 5 things are the most important facts I’ve learned since my time here. I’m putting them up as a reminder to myself, and potentially a guide for other young students about to go into the professional workforce as well.
- [From Passive Consumers to Active Shapers: Technology’s Second Chance](https://curajoy.org/blog/from-passive-consumers-to-active-shapers-technologys-second-chance/): We’ve made so much “progress” that we can now order food, learn, and work without ever seeing another person. But is that really true progress or just convenience that erodes our humanity and quality of life? We’ve traded a handful of close friends for thousands of followers—and feel lonelier than ever. We’ve gone from exploring new frontiers to decluttering our minds from misinformation and AI-generated noise. In the chase for speed and efficiency, we’ve innovated away the messy but vital parts of life: failing, practicing, discovering, and connecting.
- [Anti-Anxiety Methods That Don’t Work](https://curajoy.org/blog/https-blog-curajoy-com-blog-antianxietymethodsthatdontwork/): So, though the science behind affirmations is correct, it doesn’t work for everyone since people affirm themselves in unique ways. You're not insane! Jumping off this, here are some anti-anxiety methods that do not work for some people.
- [Neurodivergents and Cyberbullying](https://curajoy.org/blog/neurodivergents-and-cyberbullying/): So a while ago in August, I went to SCDD’s San Diego Regional Youth Leadership Forum. It was pretty nice going there, there was lots of food, and the inspiring speakers like Toni Saia and Otto Lana talking about their experiences with the real world and what it means to them to have a disability, really left me feeling empowered. I was greatly moved by their speeches, emerged enlightened, and they helped me realize some things about myself that I have been denying for a long time. But one thing I noticed was that they often talked about their negative experiences, about how they self advocated and dealt with people who thought they were less than. That brought up another thought in my mind. Are neurodivergent people more vulnerable on the internet? 
- [Let’s get this done! Developer Enablement Initiative](https://curajoy.org/blog/lets-get-this-done-developer-enablement-initiative/): Hi everyone,
- [Machine Learning 101: A Youth Guide to Teaching Computers to Think](https://curajoy.org/blog/machine-learning-101-2/): When Netflix recommends your next favorite show or when your email filters out spam, that’s machine learning at work. Machine learning (ML) is a branch of artificial intelligence that allows computers to learn from data and make decisions without being explicitly programmed. Instead of humans writing every rule, the computer figures out patterns itself and improves as it sees more examples.
- [Safe to Break, Ready to Ship](https://curajoy.org/blog/safe-to-break-ready-to-ship/): I hired a newbie handyman to replace five faucet fixtures. He and I both assumed he knew what he was doing. Nothing leaked before. That night, every sink he touched started dripping. Three callbacks and extra parts later, the total bill far exceeded what a licensed plumber’s—plus the time and trust you can’t get back. He skipped the instructions (and the silicone washer) and applied quick fixes that created long-term problems. Every time he came back to “fix” the issue, I paid him again. Eventually, I had to hire someone else to undo the damage.
- [A Real Human Being, or a Grade Machine?](https://curajoy.org/blog/a-real-human-being-or-a-grade-machine/): Caitlyn Wang’s wonderful article, besides managing to alleviate my anxiety about not taking enough AP courses, also brought up another thought in mind. In her article, there was this quote
- [Literature Review: Cyberbullying Labeling Schemes and Annotation Guidelines](https://curajoy.org/blog/cyberbullying-labeling-schemes-and-annotation-guidelines/): Cyberbullying, defined as willful and repeated harm inflicted through digital means, continues to rise in prevalence and severity, particularly among youth populations, who are exposed to social media at starting at young ages. The mental health consequences of cyberbullying—including anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation—are well-documented (NIH, 2023). As a result, researchers have increasingly turned to automated systems powered by machine learning to detect, classify, and mitigate cyberbullying. A central challenge in developing such systems is constructing high-quality annotated datasets with appropriate labeling schemes. This review synthesizes recent scholarship on labeling strategies (binary, multi-class, and role-based), annotation practices, and inter-annotator agreement (IAA), drawing on five key academic sources and the NIH.
- [The Hidden Dangers of Data Augmentation](https://curajoy.org/blog/the-hidden-dangers-of-data-augmentation/): In the rapidly evolving world of AI, data is king—but what happens when the data we rely on is synthetic? While data augmentation offers a promising solution to the challenges of collecting real-world examples, it comes with hidden dangers. From the risk of model collapse to the inability to capture the nuances of human language, synthetic data can lead to fragile models that struggle in real-world scenarios. Discover why balancing synthetic and authentic data is crucial for building robust AI systems, and learn how our approach to cyberbullying detection exemplifies this delicate equilibrium.
- [How We Mapped the Digital Battlefield: Creating Categories to Combat Cyberbullying](https://curajoy.org/blog/how-we-mapped-the-digital-battlefield-creating-categories-to-combat-cyberbullying/): A journey through 40+ research papers, heated debates, and yellow sticky notes
- [The Newest Buzzword (Part 2)](https://curajoy.org/blog/the-newest-buzzword-part-2/): The second reason why autism keeps on getting misused in a lot of memes could be people self diagnosing themselves with autism. Far warning, I will be heading into a rather controversial topic here. But as a person with autism and ADHD (or just as a person in general), I feel as though I should be able to express my opinion on it. 
- [If I’m Not a 4.0, Who Am I?](https://curajoy.org/blog/if-im-not-a-4-0-who-am-i/): “Kids are so occupied with not disappointing anyone that they don’t have the luxury to find out who they really are.”— Caitlyn Wang, founder of the nonprofit curaJOY
- [Anxiety 101](https://curajoy.org/blog/anxiety-101/): Anxiety can be really debilitating. It’s all in your head, but you know what your head controls? Literally everything else. Want to know more about
- [The Reality I Lived: Seven Years in NYC Special Education](https://curajoy.org/blog/the-reality-i-lived-seven-years-in-nyc-special-education/): After seven years as both a general and special education teacher in the New York City Department of Education, I've lived the impossible equation that defines our profession: provide individualized, evidence-based support to 25+ students with complex needs, document every intervention, coordinate with families across diverse cultural contexts, and find time for actual teaching and relationship-building.
- [All In or Half Out? The Mindset That Shapes Your Life](https://curajoy.org/blog/all-in-or-half-out-the-mindset-that-shapes-your-life/): What’s going right in your life, right now?
- [Optimizing Learning Outcomes and Career Pathways for Students with Learning Differences](https://curajoy.org/blog/optimizing-learning-outcomes-and-career-pathways-for-students-with-learning-differences/): For students with learning differences, the journey through education and into a fulfilling career can be daunting. While traditional educational frameworks often struggle to meet the needs of these learners, we have the power to change that. To optimize both learning outcomes and career pathways for students with learning differences, we must embrace a holistic, data-driven, and inclusive approach.
- [The Newest Buzzword (Part 1)](https://curajoy.org/blog/the-newest-buzzword-part-1/): This story takes place several months ago back when school was still on going. So I was sitting with my friends’ friend group (I say this because although I was friends with some of the guys on the table, most of them were just friends of my friends), when the subject of a certain girl we’ll call Ariel came up. For some context, Ariel and I are in the same special education class. However, Ariel needs more help in order to do well in school. She's got good grades, but she doesn’t take it well when things change or when things don’t go the way she expected them to be. This can lead to her frustration boiling over and having a lot of temper tantrums. I learned from the conversation that one of the guys (Henry) shares a class with Ariel. He said that she was really weird, really scary, and really autistic. To punctuate his point, he said “She’s got 4 times the autism of this table”, to which another guy, Derek, chimed in “Yeah, but you’re like, 75% of that autism.” I was very confused at this point, so I asked for some clarifying information. The chat went like this:
- [The Missing Middle](https://curajoy.org/blog/the-missing-middle/): This July, during the launch of curaJOY’s Impact Fellowship, I had a sobering realization. These were some of the brightest high school and college students we had ever worked with—motivated, passionate, and full of ideas. Yet, many had never written a research paper. Few had been asked to conduct original investigations or engage in meaningful peer debate. These aren’t just missing assignments. These are missing skills.
- [Interns and Suffering](https://curajoy.org/blog/interns-and-suffering/): Do you know the Salk Institute? It was founded by Jonas Salk, the creator of the polio vaccine. The Salk Institute has a paid internship called the Heithoff-Brody Summer Scholars, where high school students work as assistants in labs assigned to them based on their interests. I applied, and even got to the final rounds where I would be interviewed by my mentor. Life was going well, and my mentor said she was impressed by me. It seemed I was going to take my place in Salk Institute after all. But then, catastrophe struck. Some sort of money or funding got cut, because then, for the next two weeks, radio silence. The people in charge of the Heithoff-Brody Summer Scholars internship never got back to me, never told me whether or not I was accepted or rejected. I was stuck in limbo and did not know what my summer plans should be. Was I going to get money from this internship? Should I try to sign up for college courses? Would I ever see Salk and its laughing seagulls, huge ravens, and nice nature again? These questions plagued my mind and gave me anxiety for the longest time. But while not knowing if I got into the Heithoff-Brody Summer Scholars program sucked, it also gave me time to think, and for my mom to reveal a truth about internships and being the new person on the job. I took notes on it. Here they are now!

- [curaJOY helps adapt behavioral healthcare to different cultures](https://curajoy.org/blog/curajoy-helps-adapt-behavioral-healthcare-to-different-cultures/): "The real danger is not that computers will become like humans, but that humans will be treated like computers." -  Sydney Harris
- [Check In. Learn to See.  Live Better.](https://curajoy.org/blog/check-in-learn-to-see-live-better/): To kick off the summer, I took my daughters to explore sprawling underground caves and dive into cenotes on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. The wildlife and natural beauty were surreal—hypnotic limestone caverns connected by clear underground rivers that Batman would envy—the eerie stillness of magnificence formed from meteorites when dinosaurs still walked the earth. But even in the presence of that wonder, it took us a few days to truly see it.
- [How AI Is Transforming Cybersecurity: Opportunities and Emerging Threats](https://curajoy.org/blog/how-ai-is-transforming-cybersecurity-opportunities-and-emerging-threats/): Imagine this: your company’s firewall flags an unusual login attempt from halfway across the globe, and before your team even notices, the AI system has already isolated the event, started a preliminary investigation, and blocked any suspicious activity. That’s not science fiction—that’s the kind of power artificial intelligence is bringing to cybersecurity today.
- [Blobfish of Stress](https://curajoy.org/blog/blobfish-of-stress/): Hello! Sorry for the long pause in between blog posts! I’ve been busy with AP Testing and SAT. Oh dear, the SAT. That was challenging. By completing the SAT, I had finally checked a major assignment off my to do list. I had prepared to take this test for months, took tutoring classes on it, and now, it was finally done. Sure, I still had other work to do, but one of my biggest assignments, one of the things that took up most of my time, was completed. I wouldn’t have to do anything SAT related again, not unless I decided to retake the test. But for the next few weeks after the SAT, something felt…off. It wasn’t that the lack of SAT was liberating or that I had to find something to do now that I no longer had to dedicate so much time to that test; rather, I was more stressed than ever. My heart was racing all the time, my chest felt crushingly tight, and I felt like I was about to take two SATs instead of being finished with one! It made no sense at first. Why was I so stressed even though there really wasn’t anything to be anxious over? I still had a few more assignments, but those weren’t of too much concern at the time. They weren’t the cause of my newfound stress. As I soon found out, via an epiphany, it was the lack of stress that was causing me stress. It sounds crazy, I know. But let me explain. How? With an animal.

- [Proactive, Defensive Approach to Cyber and AI Security](https://curajoy.org/blog/proactive-defensive-approach-to-cyber-and-ai-security/): As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to transform industries, the importance of cybersecurity has evolved from a reactive necessity to a proactive strategy. In sectors like mental health, education, and wellness, where sensitive data and vulnerable user groups are involved, AI security is not just a technical requirement, it’s an ethical one. At curaJOY, where we build AI-powered tools that support children's emotional and behavioral development, we understand that user trust is foundational. That trust can only be preserved through a defensive, forward-thinking approach to both cybersecurity and AI integrity.
- [Product Design Philosophy](https://curajoy.org/blog/product-design-philosophy/): I'm sharing my core product design philosophy that I've learned and formed over the decades of working with Harman, Fender, Gibson, Acer, Foxconn, Steinberg, Dolby and other brands on creating lasting and profitable products.
- [When Speed Hurts: Why We Built Our Behavioral Health Solution the Hard Way](https://curajoy.org/blog/when-speed-hurts-why-we-built-our-behavioral-health-solution-the-hard-way/): Our booth at the AI Show @ GSV + ASU was tiny—just 3x3. We were flanked by past winners of the Tools Competition, NewSchools Venture Fund, and Fast Forward Accelerator—programs we’re now going through ourselves. It was inspiring to be among them—but I’ll admit, I had a moment of doubt. Had I waited too long? Most startup advice says the founder’s job is to fundraise, first and foremost. But I chose to build first, not sell or pitch.
- [My Experience in the AI GSV-ASU Show](https://curajoy.org/blog/my-experience-in-the-ai-gsv-asu-show/): A few days ago was my first day at the AI-GSU show. The experience was….different than I was expecting to say the least. The building was bigger and was less packed with people than I thought it would be. There was a machine making cotton candy for free, along with some people giving out coffee. Also, a lot of the tables were smaller than I thought they would be. “That tiny space costs so much?” I wondered. "What made renting out that table so worth it?" As I would later find out, the table is just the set up, it’s the people and the connections they make that matters.
- [Monumental (but not in the way you think)](https://curajoy.org/blog/monumental-but-not-in-the-way-you-think/): This week is monumental for me. Not because of some achievement or award (don’t worry, no humblebrags here ????), but because—for the first time in 16.5 years—I have five consecutive days to myself. No caregiving. No rushing from one in-person meeting to the next. Just… me.
- [From Big Booths to Bigger Impact: Building AI with Youth](https://curajoy.org/blog/from-big-booths-to-bigger-impact-building-ai-with-youth/): More than 10 years ago, I led teams in 20x30 double-decker booths at major trade shows. CES, NAMM, Infocomm, ProLight+Sound. Big budgets, big lights, big business. This year, I found myself leading 15 first-timers in a 3x3 space.
- [The Link Between Mental & Physical Health and Academic Success](https://curajoy.org/blog/the-link-between-mental-physical-health-and-academic-success/): Navigating college life can be challenging, with a constant juggling act between exams, study sessions, and various personal obligations. Amidst this hustle, it's essential to remember that prioritizing your mental and physical health isn't just about feeling good—it's crucial for achieving academic success. Research indicates that when we take care of our body and mind, we enhance our focus, improve information retention, and sustain motivation to achieve our goals. Understanding the interplay between mental and physical health can set the groundwork for thriving both academically and personally.
- [Understanding Behavioral Health for Learning](https://curajoy.org/blog/understanding-behavioral-health-for-learning/): Behavioral health encompasses our emotional, social, and psychological well-being, significantly influencing our thoughts, actions, and interactions. For students, good behavioral health is essential—not just for their happiness but for their ability to learn, achieve academically, manage stress, and build positive relationships.
- [curaJOY at The 2025 AI Show](https://curajoy.org/blog/curajoy-at-the-2025-ai-show/): Have you ever wished AI could truly understand and respond to your family's unique needs? Most AI talks at you; curaJOY's AI listens—and it's built by the very people it serves.
- [Loneliness Across Generations](https://curajoy.org/blog/loneliness-across-generations/): Loneliness is a complex emotional state that many people experience at some point in their lives. Defined as a feeling of sadness or distress about being alone, it can occur even in the presence of others. This emotional experience can impact various aspects of life, including social interactions, mental health, and overall well-being.
- [Parenting Is Hard. The Advice Is Confusing. What’s the Real Solution?](https://curajoy.org/blog/parenting-is-hard-the-advice-is-confusing-whats-the-real-solution/): I couldn’t believe it when a colleague told me that research suggests parenting is one of the most stressful roles an adult can take on. It made me pause—how could something so deeply meaningful also be so exhausting? But then I looked around: parents today are juggling work, life, guiding kids through social pressures, dealing with screen time addiction, and somehow squeezing in time to teach them resilience, discipline, and self-regulation.
- [Leaning In on Nonprofits in Uncertain Times](https://curajoy.org/blog/leaning-in-on-nonprofits-in-uncertain-times/): Sometimes, the world just sucks. Jobs disappear overnight, bills skyrocket, and each day seems to usher in a new crisis. I've witnessed firsthand how these harsh realities—the uncertainty of 2025—can knock the wind out of families and erode our sense of hope. But I’m not here to wallow. It's clear people need help, and our education, healthcare, and other critical systems urgently need improvement. So, how do we move from merely surviving and reacting to proactively building a future that empowers everyone?
- [The Hardest Thing to Build: An Ecosystem Where People Stay](https://curajoy.org/blog/the-hardest-thing-to-build-an-ecosystem-where-people-stay/): During my interview with Twilio for Transform Together, I was asked “What metrics tell you that you are succeeding at your mission?”
- [Homelessness and Mental Illness](https://curajoy.org/blog/homelessness-and-mental-illness/): Across the country, more and more people are struggling to maintain consistent housing and the mental health support they desperately need. Rates of homelessness and mental illness have risen over the past few years, creating challenges that ripple through every community. Even if you or someone you know hasn’t been directly affected, these issues touch us all.
- [When and Why Are Functional Behavior Assessments Done?](https://curajoy.org/blog/when-and-why-are-functional-behavior-assessments-done/): In our last post, we broke down what a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) is—a systematic process for identifying the underlying reasons behind challenging behaviors. But when exactly should an FBA be conducted, and why is it so important?
- [Unlocking Better Behavioral Support: How AI is Transforming Functional Behavior Assessments](https://curajoy.org/blog/unlocking-better-behavioral-support-how-ai-is-transforming-functional-behavior-assessments/): Imagine a child struggling with severe emotional outbursts in school, a teen engaging in self-injurious behaviors, or an adult with autism experiencing daily frustration due to communication barriers. Families and educators often feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to help, leading to trial and error approaches that can frequently cause more harm than good. This is where Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs) come in: an evidence-based approach to understanding why behaviors occur and how to support positive change.
- [Unlocking Functional Behavior Assessments Funding](https://curajoy.org/blog/unlocking-functional-behavior-assessments-funding/): Desperate for answers, she turned to parent forums, disability Facebook groups, and school district websites. That’s when she came across something she had never heard before—Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA). And for the first time, she had a name for what her son needed.
