Janet Cunningham, who was diagnosed with ADHD at age 37, has set up the ADHD Hub Coffee Shop and Info Point to tackle stigma about the condition in Newcastle, UK.

The coffee shop serves as a training ground for kids and young adults with ADHD to learn important skills related to the workplace.

Janet said the shop was designed to give kids "freedom to be themselves". "The kids get a sense of pride of having something to look forward to coming into the shop."

Please note this appears to be from Southeast of Belfast, in South Down in Northern Ireland, not one of the many scores in the British isles, including Tyne, Wear and Lyme in English NE alone.

Technology Gives a Voice to Those with Speech Disabilities

Based on machine learning and speech recognition algorithms, the AI-powered Voiceitt platform is designed to recognize and translate speech by people with an underlying medical condition, disability or age-related condition that means their speech is hard to understand. The Voiceitt platform is web-based, which means that it can be accessed from any internet-connected device without having to download a program or app. It works either as voice to text or voice to synthesized speech, with the latter allowing the user to speak in person in real time, as part of a face-to-face conversation, or in a virtual, online meeting. https://nocamels.com/2024/01/ai-technology-gives-a-voice-to-those-with-speech-disabilities/
