Widgit Software is a UK-based company dedicated to making communication accessible to all individuals, regardless of their age, ability, nationality, or background. Since our journey first began over 40 years ago, we’ve pioneered symbol-supported software and resources that empower people with communication difficulties to understand and be understood across all manner of environments. Today, Widgit Symbols are used in schools, homes, and communities all over the world to support inclusive learning and communication. Driven by our values of integrity, kindness, and quality, we work closely with educators, families, and organisations to develop tools that truly make a difference. From supporting neurodiverse learners in the classroom, to bringing symbols to public transport, football stadiums, wildlife parks and beyond, we’re committed to breaking down communication barriers wherever they exist. Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and we’re proud to foster a workplace where purpose and passion go hand in hand. Becoming a Certified B Corporation has reinforced our mission from the very start: to use business as a force for good, helping to ensure no individual feels left behind.
