The digital platform primarily targets neurodiverse college students and those facing stress or anxiety, helping them navigate daily university challenges. This integrated solution offers tools for task organization, decision-making, and building connections, with a core focus on independence and personalized user experience. Developed based on user contributions, the platform aims to complement rather than replace existing services, helping students achieve higher levels of satisfaction and success in academic, social, career, and daily living environments.

Through this collaboration, Globant will provide comprehensive product development expertise, covering AI architecture, data integration, accessibility engineering, and user experience development. Globant applies its professional capabilities in creating scalable AI-driven platforms within highly regulated environments to the evolution of the platform's technical infrastructure, incorporating intelligent features to organize tasks, provide adaptive support, and securely manage data.

The platform is built on Viability's experience working alongside individuals with disabilities, transforming its proven service approach into scalable digital capabilities. The platform will adopt a mobile-first strategy, optimized for different devices, and developed to meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, as well as applicable FERPA and HIPAA regulations, ensuring compliance with data protection requirements in the U.S. education and healthcare sectors.

Javier Scher, Senior Vice President and Head of the AI Education Studio at Globant, stated that the company believes technology should help people reach their full potential, and this partnership demonstrates how AI can make a real impact on people's daily lives. Colleen Holmes, President and CEO of Viability, said that Cascadience recognizes that different ways of being and experiencing the world are integral to profound human nature, and breaking down barriers between people and organizations is transformative.

Viability is a social mission-driven nonprofit organization with over 55 years of experience, providing community support programs and services across five U.S. states. Cascadience LLC is its nonprofit technology subsidiary, dedicated to creating inclusive digital solutions to expand access and opportunities for people of diverse abilities. Headquartered in Springfield, Massachusetts, Viability serves over 4,900 individuals with disabilities and vulnerable populations annually in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma, and Rhode Island, with a team of more than 430 employees and partnerships with hundreds of businesses to meet workforce needs.
