About the solution
Ivan goes to an experimental progressive school that specifically educates children with mobility disorders, and were the students are taught to unleash their talents. So the student learned how to code.
During classes, the developer met a girl who had such limited ability to communicate that she could only choose between two options, using pictures, words or gestures.
The student then went home thinking about a software that would replicate these actions, without the user having to carry around all the time pictures and cards.
And DisQwerty was born, which can be downloaded for free.
“In the West expectations from disabled people are often the same as from in the majority, but this is not the case here. In Russia it is different – we feel sorry for them,” he explained.
Ivan, who is a brilliant student, already received a place at St. Petersburg university, to study programming.
