Dybuster

Dybuster develops scientifially proven, computer-based systems to support basic learning skills. Our systems enable even those with learning difficulties and neurobiological issues such as dyslexia and dyscalculia (difficulty with arithmetic) to learn efficiently. The key to their success lies in Dybuster's unique combination of neuropsychological and IT principles. The company was founded in 2007 as a spin-off of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and has its headquarters in Zürich. It was with "Dybuster Orthograph", the multi-sensory support system for spelling, that Dybuster first garnered international recognition. Much of this recognition arose from the fact that Orthograph could also be used to provide effective support and therapy to sufferers of dyslexia. The high effectiveness of the system for children both with and without spelling difficulties has been verified by numerous scientific studies. Core elements of Dybuster Orthograph include the multi-sensory representation of words - allowing the brain to comprehend words as more than just black-and-white combinations of letters - and the ability to adapt, intelligently and automatically, to the individual difficulties of the respective user, thereby allowing them to train in the exact area in which their difficulties lie. Dybuster then applied the tried-and-tested concepts of Dybuster Orthograph to the acquisition of mathematical skills, working together with neuropyschologists to develop "Dybuster Calcularis". Training with Dybuster Calcularis develops the regions of the brain responsible for carrying out so-called "mathematical sub-tasks" in an automated manner. This enables even children with dyscalculia to solve more than 35% of problems presented to them after a 3-month period of training, as has been verified by a number of independent studies. Dybuster programs are used in schools and therapeutic settings as well as for individual, autonomous training at home. More than 35,000 children train using Dybuster's educational software. The company's high standards of innovation are attested to by the several awards they have received.
