Cognitive Adaptations
Youth Declaration on Transforming Education

The Youth Declaration on Transforming Education was created at the UN Transforming Education Summit in 2022, representing the voices of 500,000 young people from around the world.

Now, millions of people will be able to access and understand the Youth Declaration through adaptation to 14 cognitive profiles translated into 4 languages and 100% free.

Our 5-Step Methodology
01
Analysis

Segment the original document, identify key concepts, and calculate complexity metrics for baseline understanding.

02
Adaptation Rules

Apply specific strategies for each profile. Objective and validated metrics FRE (Flesch Reading Ease), FKGL (Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level), DIP (Preserved Information Density ≥90%), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Coh-Metrix, Computational Linguistics - Machine Learning

03
AI Generation and Human Review

AI trained with the Lingara.pro methodology to create prompts with specialized guidance for each cognitive profile. Human review in each language.

04
Quality Validation

Ensure total semantic similarity exceeds 0.95, verify 100% concept preservation

05
Multilingual Translation

Professional translation with the same adaptation rules applied and cross-language validation to ensure consistency.

Built on Scientific Standards

93% Compliance

International Standard for Plain Language - ensuring clarity and accessibility in all adaptations.

100% Compliance

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines - the highest level of digital accessibility compliance.

87% Compliance

Universal Design for Learning - multiple means of representation, engagement, and expression.

Explanatory pictograms were not used for level 3 autistic individuals, but the text retains its semantics.

The first Open Source, AI-powered cognitive and linguistic accessibility platform that guarantees 100% compliance for organizations with the European Accessibility Act (EAA), WCAG 2.2 AAA and ISO 24495-1 standards, Universal Design for Learning UDL, as well as accessibility laws in over 50 countries.

We are a social enterprise with the potential to disseminate accessible communication for 15 cognitive profiles, reaching 1.3 billion people at scale, with ethically integrated, unique, and low-cost AI.

Statement of Principles

LINGARA.pro is based on an interdisciplinary, compassionate, non-violent, and neurodivergent approach that integrates neuroscience, education, artificial intelligence, sociology, and social care.

Our methodology is guided by the principles of equity, social justice, and the empowerment of neurodivergent individuals, recognizing neurodiversity as a natural and valuable variation of the human condition.

Created by the professional and neurodivergent team of the Diverse STEAM collective.
