15 February 2018, AmsterdamToday a new organization has come into this world, the Neurodiversity Foundation, to bridge the gap between Neurodivergents and Neurotypicals. And it is an organization build on Love.In our research for the best solutions to create equal opportunities for persons on the Spectrum, we got into contact with so many individuals wanting this world to be a fairer one for all. So many using their personal influence to create safer havens in stormy oceans.We see that love, looking into the stories of parents of Autists and what lengths they will go to support their child.We see that love, in corporate leaders aiming to provide neurodivergent employees with the works and the setting they can thrive in.We see that love, in the coaches and academics, talking, testing & typing frantically beyond any regard for working hours.We see that love, in friends taking their neurodivergent buddies by the hand in the confusing social jungle.We see that love, from neurodivergents, pining to connect, to cooperate, to be, with others in a world that often doesn’t understand us.This is the love that founded our organization. An organization focused on creating research, prototypes, co-creation schemes, to push forward the technical innovation that drives the move towards a more equal, inclusive neurodiverse society. Like the 2Tango.Signs project, or the different non-verbal technologies to circumvent the communication problems we face daily interacting with the world. An organization to support neurodivergents, their parents, best friends, bosses and coaches with the tools we need, and pushing progress in the societal awareness we wish for.Diversity, makes a group stronger. Neurodiversity means that differences are to be celebrated, not repressed, but optimized and that all are equally welcome to the party. Let’s make this world, a better place, one for all of us.

Director and founder of Terra Futura Foundation.Our mission is to save the world, by inspiring people to undertake positive actions or green acts in their own lives. For this goal we create tools, supporting all to create a world for the future.In our first year we created videotutorials on good deeds In our next years we were creating many different types of tools to use when you want to save the world. Our tools include 8 websites (like dewereldredden.nl, nietskopen.nl), active boardgames, gadgets, workshops or educational material en public actions. In our recent years we have been creating Good Deed Tourism with project Tourist Save The World, later growing up to be social enterprise Terra Tours.Taking anyone to the streets to do good together. Moving forward with fierce ambition for the greater good.

We create websites, webapps, appsites and facebook-apps to foster positive behaviour. Mainly for NGO's and people who want this, but don't know how to make it happen, who do have a budget in place and choose to ask us first. In 2016 the department is integrated into Terra Futura's "Tools" department.

Terra Tours organizes good deed tours for companies and groups. It was founded as a initiative to get tourists to do good deeds, and later we focussed on groups particularly. We are still operating for clients wanting to book a good deed tour or activity program. In between Terra Futura Foundation CEO-stuff, and developing a social enterprise Terra Tours, I still love being a Tourguide myself for our Terra Tours department when needed for our CSR activity programs, Core Values activity programs, good deed tours like the social, green smart and tourist save the world tour. Ask me to take you on a good deed tour. Ask me, because, I will.Check out the site: www.terratours.nl

Mensen met autisme, en jonge kinderen en jongvolwassenen wellicht nog het meeste, hebben in sommige situaties moeite om boodschappen over te brengen via het direct gesproken woord. Dit kan onhandig zijn voor iemand met ASD, die hun boodschap niet altijd even goed kunnen bepraten, waardoor veel onuitgesproken blijft. Maar het is ook onhandig voor de personen om hen heen, die hierdoor moeilijk kunnen begrijpen wat er aan de hand is. Als er een betere oplossing als communicatiekanaal mogelijk is, met bijvoorbeeld de ouders, of een buddy, ondersteund dat het contact en bied een nieuw kanaal voor samenwerking, samenschap en begrip. Net als er voor doven gebarentaal ontwikkeld is, is er met de huidige technologie, de mogelijkheid om via de smartphone, een vergelijkbare voorziening aangepast op ASD te maken; digitale gebarentaal voor autisme.Deze tool kan de vorm aannemen van een webapp en native app en heeft de werktitel 2Tango.signs. We zijn actief bezig met functioneel prototype V5, maar heeft nog een aantal vervolgstappen voordat de tool af is. Daarnaast zal ook na oplevering van de tool, er een langere testperiode zijn, waarin we met ouders en hun ASD kinderen evalueren hoe de tool nog effectiever gemaakt kunnen worden.

De missie van 2Tango is om intermenselijk contact te helpen verbeteren en stroomlijnen door faciliterende online & offline systemen voor aangepaste communicatie te realiseren. 2Tango maakt daardoor bijzondere verbindende evenementen, prosociale apps en online co-creatie tools om door contact onderling te stroomlijnen, dit ook leuker te maken, te verdiepen en aan te sluiten op de daadwerkelijke behoeften die we daarin hebben.
