New Application Provides Online Hub for Neurodiverse Individuals to Collaborate

New Application Provides Online Hub for Neurodiverse Individuals to Collaborate

A major Canadian university reached out to Imaginet to create an application that provided an online resource for neurodiverse people and their families. The goal was to provide a space where neurodiverse individuals could share stories or provide insight into the practices that have helped them overcome challenges in their day-to-day lives. This online resource would give people facing similar challenges a safe space to communicate with one another.  

The Imaginet Application Development team used C#, ASP.NET, JavaScript, and Orchard to build the entire website and application from scratch. Orchard is a CMS service with several built-in tools, which allowed Imaginet to streamline the whole process and ensure end users would easily be able to access these online resources. We added features that made it simple for users to connect with like-minded individuals and conduct their own research on the hurdles others had faced and how they overcame them.  

The university was provided with a grant to implement this program, which meant the project needed to be completed within a strict timeframe and budget. Imaginet completed the project and adhered to the budget and time constraints that were in place. Soon, this website will be open for anyone to use at the University and will be adopted by all faculties. Imaginet provided demos of the project in each stage of completion and provided open communication and transparency. This allowed the client to understand and remain involved throughout the completion of the project.   

This project was important to the client and Imaginet. Having a place for neurodivergent individuals to collaborate will lead to a greater understanding of how we can be more inclusive and how we can provide spaces that foster learning and growth for everyone.
