What Makes Ideamapper Assistive Technology
Ideamapper is a powerful mind mapping, visual learning and writing tool that has been developed to help individuals go from a concept to a well-structured document. As a professional in the workplace, Ideamapper is here to simply enhance your experience. It is designed to support individuals with a range of neurodiversity conditions, including:
-
Dyslexia
-
Autism
-
ADHD
-
Executive Function Disorder
Short-term memory and processing
Users can quickly create documents and notes by writing down everything they think of immediately, without the worry of forgetting important pieces of information or having to remember structure. Ideamapper’s mind mapping feature allows the user to minimise ‘thought bubbles’ which can be used as a memory aid when reciting the hidden information recurrently.
Organising and structuring ideas
Users can manipulate their documents freely in different views. They can simultaneously view their written document and mind map using the split-screen option which helps to highlight the overall structure of their work. This benefits users who struggle to structure thoughts, documents or with reading and understanding of large text documents.
Focus and concentration
Ideamapper allows users to “Minimise” and “Hide” information. This can reduce distractions, overwhelm, and even assist with hyper/under focus. This is because the users can decide how much or how little information is displayed at any one time. This benefits users as it allows them to focus on the aspect of their work that requires it.
Brain Fog
A range of conditions can cause Brain Fog, even such as Long Covid. Brain Fog causes the affected to struggle to “think”. As a thinking tool, Ideamapper can make this easy by breaking down the thinking, creating and writing aspects of work into small and manageable chunks.
Note-taking
For users who are required to “note take”. Ideamapper is an effective solution that allows users to quickly jot down ideas. This can help people who struggle with writing (such as those with dyslexia) as it takes them longer typically to scribe notes.
Anxiety
Helps users overcome ‘blank page’ difficulties by allowing them to plan, structure and write documents in their own way.
