The term “Learning Disabilities” serves as an umbrella term for several specific cognitive abilities, such as dyslexia, autism, ADHD, down syndrome, slow learner etc. However, in recent years, the phrase “differently abled” has gained traction and is seen as more respectful for people with disabilities by focusing on their abilities rather than their impairments. The World Health Organization estimates over 1 billion people globally, which is roughly 15% of the world’s population, who are differently abled, with approximately over 200 million people having an intellectual disability, accounting for 2.6% of the world’s population. This underscores the importance of developing products and solutions that cater to their unique needs and abilities. Continuing to prioritize accessibility, inclusivity, and the well-being of individuals with cognitive disabilities through product development can lead to meaningful improvements in their lives and contribute to a more inclusive and compassionate society.
Let’s change the world a TinyBit at a time.
As a co-founder of CloudBlue, I have always been passionate about creating innovative solutions to the challenges faced by individuals with learning difficulties. My inspiration stems from my experience at an International School in Belgium, which prides itself on its commitment to inclusion and integration. This commitment has led me to closely examine the difficulties that individuals that are differently abled face in their daily lives beyond just academics. I have noticed that not only do students with cognitive disabilities face challenges, but their family members are also continuously concerned about their safety and ease of life.
Cognitively differently abled people often struggle with organizing and following through on their daily tasks, communication barriers, language barriers when traveling, quick adaptability, connecting to immediate family members, and being independent by virtue of road maps, among others. Despite the availability of various apps on smartphones that can address some of these issues, there is no single umbrella solution that can provide ease of operation for differently abled people.
To address this problem, we have developed a unique solution in the form of an application called TinyBit. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive platform that can simplify the lives of individuals with learning difficulties and their families. TinyBit offers features such as organizing daily tasks, reminders in a simplistic UI to ensure easy navigation, communication, and safety. Our intent is also to bring the community closer globally.
We believe that our innovation can help individuals with learning difficulties live a more comfortable life, and we are committed to creating a better world for everyone.
TinyBit, aims to provide a single umbrella solution for cognitively differently-abled people or even otherwise and their access to technology.
