The D.A.I.S.I. Network

We are currently seeking to raise $150K in funding for innovative web based mobile application that promotes inclusion of individuals with disabilities and provides an upgrade in the  quality of life for families and individuals with disabilities.  

                                                                                                                                                      

With over 63 million adults and children with disabilities within the United States, you may have a family member or know someone with a disability, whether acquired at birth or late in life due to unforeseen circumstances.  Countless studies have identified the challenges families and individuals with disabilities face in finding appropriate and available services, obtaining clear and accurate communication, and when they finally receive an answer, families encounter long wait lists for needed services.  

The lack of centralized support creates frustration for numerous families and individuals with disabilities, which in turn increases poor long-term outcomes for individuals with disabilities, per recent social health determinants. All these issues add or can cause the breakdown of family units, increase depression and anxiety, create a feeling of hopelessness, leaving so many families and individuals with disabilities suffering with poor quality of life.  With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has widened the disparities experienced by families and/or individuals with disabilities.

Free to users, Neural Divergence LLC found a meaningful solution that will eliminate the hassles they experience and upgrade the quality of life for so many families and individuals with disabilities.  Neural Divergence has created a centralized dynamic and interactive web-based mobile application called The DAISI Network, the acronym for "diverse and inclusive service review of information network."   The DAISI Network is specially designed and created out of a need for a centralized and functional resource directory of information for families and individuals with disabilities.  DAISI Network allows families and individuals with disabilities to search broadly for businesses (i.e. schools, clinics, childcare, restaurants, etc.) to find local businesses that can support their unique needs.  For the visually impaired, there is a toggle switch that will allow for larger print.  This web based mobile application will provide language translation as well to accommodate cultural needs.

Instead of piecemealing information together or individuals calling all around to find out the most basic information about local businesses, we provide it with the simple click of a mouse/button from their desktop, laptop, or cell phone.  Families and individuals can log in through the use of Facebook, Google, or create an account.  Utilizing Google GPS location tracking of individuals, each search provides specific information about local businesses to the user based on unique needs such as inclusion support, breastfeeding friendly, sensory friendly, Hoyer lift accessible, wheelchair accessible, and so much more.  

 

 

Neural Divergence LLC has created a first of its kind through the DAISI Network.  There are no other applications, including YELP, Google Search, or Yahoo Search that are specially designed or created in servicing families and individuals with disabilities in service review of information. While there are limited resource directories for families and individuals with disabilities that exist, they are often extremely outdated, static, and don't provide thorough reviews.  No other application provides the details provided by the DAISI Network.  We provide tags for business to identify whether the business provides accommodations based on unique needs that impact many individual within the disability community.   We take it a step further to not only provide a description of the business and hours, but we also provide real time and up-to-date information on whether doctors, healthcare providers, daycares, and schools have rolling enrollment, whether or not a place is accepting new students/clients with timeframes.  Families will also see if there is a waitlist and can send their contact information in order to join a waitlist!

As families and individuals with disabilities utilize a service, they are able to rate the business and leave a review for other families and individuals with disabilities to read.  We make it interactive by allowing businesses to respond to reviews.  This feature will be carefully monitored to ensure the integrity in its usage and the language utilized.

We decrease or eliminate families experiencing “hit or miss” in contacting multiple businesses and services to see if they are able to use the service, if they are accepting new clients/students/patients, and if the business services are able to accommodate their unique needs.  

For businesses, we provide monthly low-cost or yearly subscriptions where they will have access to edit, monitor and respond to reviews, as well as have waitlist information sent to them for staff to reach out to prospective clients/customers. 

In addition, companies that opt in for monthly or yearly subscription will have access to our organizational wellness package that includes:
