AREAS OF FOCUS
PUBLISHED WORKS
Dr. Rybachuk is the author of three groundbreaking, evidence-based books grounded in neuroscience research, exploring how to unlock innate human potential through science-informed pedagogy:
CODE OF GENIUS: How to Uncover Your Child's Innate Genius
A Scientific Guide for Parents in the Digital Age
THE MODERN EDUCATION PARADOX: Overcoming Barriers to Unlocking Our Children's Genius
Why Our Schools Fail to Unlock the Genius Within Every Child—A Scientific Journey to Reimagine Education for the 21st Century
AI IN EDUCATION: Unlocking Genius or Suppressing It?
An Interdisciplinary Framework for the Age of AI: Pedagogy, Neuroscience, Medicine, AI Engineering, and Ethics.
Together, the three books form a complete framework: understanding how genius develops in every child, identifying the systems that suppress it, and confronting the most urgent question of our time: What artificial intelligence is doing to the developing minds of the 450 million children who use AI learning platforms every day.
