Startups/tech/advancements in the intellectual disability space?


Hi HN, as a family member to someone with an Intellectual/Developmental Disability [0], I am wondering if there are any startups, products, advancements directly or indirectly addressing this population.

I know it's a broad umbrella, as not only do many different disabilities exist, but their severity as well.

For the people I am often around, living independently is the most shared goal. That in itself encompasses many things like motor skills, ability to keep routines, assistance for daily tasks, etc.

I realize this may be niche so I welcome adjacent findings as well.

Thank you!

There are small businesses in the space. But because every person with a disability is unique, there aren't universal solutions. It's wetware not software. Good luck.
