Communicotool by TEXDEV SAS – company, specialized in software editing for handicapped persons, which has been created in November 2012 in Caen, France. Their expertise is therefore a cross between development, ergonomics and software accessibility for handicapped people. Their specific competencies are rigorously linked to the language and of course linguistics, as far as the oral communication is concerned.

They design “non verbal communication” storage media in order to ease everyday life and education and/or rehabilitation of people suffering language disorders. They can find solutions by means of software developed for mainstream touchscreen tablet computers, improved by their expertise regarding software ergonomics for handicapped people, for the patients but also for the professionals likely to use them.

Their expertise is therefore at the convergence  between their knowledge of disability and its specific needs, and their competency to devise software offers able to meet these needs.
