WordSmith

Happy #AutismAcceptanceMonth from the WordSmith team! We support our autistic colleagues and the value they bring to our world, recognising that barriers to inclusion remain. We hope that #AAC can move us a step in the right direction ⌨️📱

@nerdfighterwu @DivaManocha @GDIHub We're looking for students or working professionals who are interested in making a difference through assistive technology. You'll join a team of talented developers and our co-founders, who are eager to learn from you!

WordSmith is starting 2023 with exciting news! We're #recruiting for #volunteer frontend #developers to help us finalise our prototype. Apply here: forms.gle/es8h9np5spHKU4… Please RT!

We're delighted to announce that we've joined the @GDIHub's Accelerate programme. This means we're now part of a community of assistive #tech innovators who can help us reach our goal of helping people with word retrieval difficulties speak more fluently! #AAC #aphasia

CODA's win has been hailed as a historic moment for the Deaf community for its humanisation of Deafness and its opening of doors for increased disability representation. Congratulations to the CODA team and here's to greater representation of disabled people across industries!

#BruceWillis, an American actor known for the #DieHard series, was recently diagnosed with #aphasia. We thank the Willis family for their openness in raising awareness of the condition and send them our best wishes 💙

And the Games, in all their groundbreaking glory, have come to an end. We hope that the Paralympic mission of #inclusion and accessibility will resound for everyone who's watched them, and we can't wait to use #AssistiveTech to transform lives in the spirit of #WeThe15.

With our app, we hope to help users with cognitive and speech-related impairments have fluent conversations, thus promoting their social integration. #AssistiveTechnology #Accessibility #AppDevelopment #a11y #DisabilityJustice

WordSmith hopes to help people with #aphasia, #SpeechImpairments, and #BrainInjury, among others, live up to their potential and engage in the simple everyday conversations that we all cherish. What does #AssistiveTech mean to you?

WordSmith is proud to support @WeThe15 to champion inclusion for disabled people around the world! ♿️💜 We know that accessible spaces and communities benefit everyone, and we can't wait to see the change that this campaign will bring about. #Accessibility #WeThe15 #Disability

We're excited to watch the #Paralympics starting next Tuesday, especially #ParaSwimming and #Athletics 😀 Are you joining us? Which athletes do you have an eye on? ♿️ #AssistiveTech #ParaSport
