Are you a person who is differently abled?  Do you find yourself without the information offered at many businesses simply because you can't hear, or can't process verbal information?

 

Are you having trouble finding work?  Are you a parent of a child who has a Section 504 requirement for a notetaker in school?  Perhaps the notetaking requirement is already included in the Accommodations section of your child's IEP, but your child still does not have a notetaker.  Or worse yet, another student in your child's class has been volunteered to be the notetaker.

 

Many companies are discovering the benefits of hiring people who are differently abled.  Walgreens, a nationally recognized leader in employing people with different abilities, speaks favorably about how their initiative has been a benefit to the company as well.  Other companies have seen lower attrition and higher morale from the inclusion of people who are differently abled in their workforce.

 

Schools can benefit from the reduced costs of providing notes to students - whether or not they have a notetaking requirement - by using our MeetHear product.  If your child's school says they have a classmate taking notes, ask them about the "texting-while-driving" analogy.  Has the student notetaker been trained to properly take notes?  Would you want your child to become a notetaker making sure to record all dialogue in class, instead of being a full-time student dedicated to learning?

 

MeetHear is a communication system that supports integrated employment of employees who are deaf, hard of hearing or have a cognitive disorder, and provides them with a tool enabling them to join in discussions and meetings.   MeetHear also supports mainstreamed classrooms for students who are deaf, hard of hearing or have a cognitive disorder, and provides them with a tool enabling them to join in discussions and lessons.  The clean and uncluttered user interface means less distraction for certain students.  Improve literacy and communication skills, reading comprehension, knowledge transfer and retention.
