The presence of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in regular classrooms highlights a structural methodological challenge in the contemporary educational system. Although the formal recognition of these neurodivergences is consolidated, school retention has not been accompanied by proportional transformations in pedagogical practices, generating the phenomenon of veiled exclusion. Teachers face heterogeneous classes without integrated tools that articulate scientific evidence with the constraints of daily work. The objective of this research is to develop the NEU Method (Strategic and Unified Neuroeducation), a methodology based on scientific evidence aimed at personalizing teaching for students with ASD and ADHD in the regular context. The research also aims to validate this educational technology in real contexts of use, analyzing its applicability, practical efficacy, and market acceptance. The investigation is classified as applied research, adopting a mixed-methods approach (qualitative-quantitative) with an exploratory and descriptive nature. The solution's architecture articulates principles of neuroeducation, cognitive load management, and executive functions into a low-technological demand (low-tech) model. The pragmatic technological validation will occur through a pilot test with a non-probabilistic sample of 15 to 20 basic education teachers, employing the Business-to-Consumer (B2C) direct distribution model. Data collection will use electronic forms structured in three stages: pre-intervention diagnosis, applicability record, and post-intervention evaluation. The expected results focus on measuring the methodology's potential to equip teachers, aiming to verify the reduction of overload and the increase of self-efficacy in classroom management. Additionally, it is expected to evaluate the operational viability and acceptance of distributing pedagogical innovations directly to teachers through the B2C model in the educational scenario.
