DyvoGra is a social enterprise, a team of 6 professionals in philology, publishing and special education. We do solutions for speech and communication development: books, cards, games, posters and online solutions with pictogramsthat help children and adults with speech imparments or autism to speak and communicate.
We create card sets and adapted books, manuals, methodic and research articles and digital solutions with DyvoGra symbols according to Universal design. By United Nations definition, it is the design of products, environments, programmes and services to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design due to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
Our mission is to help people with speech empairments gain autonomy and stay connected with others. Speech impairments make barriers in communication. Our products help to build communication “bridges” using alternative means: pictograms, manual signs, digital solutions.
In 2016 we made the first book in Ukrainian adapted with pictograms, translated Snow White fairy tail made originally by Uovonero in Italian. In 2018-2020 we produced books, cards and games with pictograms printed and online. We do videos to promote assistive technologies in Ukraine. As part of our social responsibility some materials in Ukrainian are free for download
In 2021 DyvoGra pictograms appeared in a free app for communication Digital Inclusion. In 2020 our team was awarded as a finalist of a Partnership for Sustainability awards. In 2021 Hanna, the founder, has got a granpri at a national competition of small businesses.
DyvoGra products make reading and education inclusive, accessible for people with speach impairments using alternative and augmentative communication according to Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Sustainiable Development Goals.
