According the United States Center for Disease Control (CDC), up to 1 in 4 (27 percent) adults in the United States have some type of disability. Of that 27 percent, 12.8% have serious difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions, 7.2% have difficulty performing errands alone, and 4.8% have blindness or serious difficulty seeing. Of those 3 disabilities, the probability of acquisition increases with age, threatening the independence of those who acquire them.

Also reported by the US CDC, in 2015, disability-associated healthcare expenditures accounted for 36% of all healthcare expenditures for adults residing in the US, totaling $868 billion, with state expenditures ranging from $1.4 billion in Wyoming to $102.8 billion in California. Of the national total, Medicare paid $324.7 billion, Medicaid paid $277.2 billon, and non-public sources paid $266.1 billion.

While the cost of living is challenging for most people, it is even more challenging for people with disabilities who must pay for certain aids that make it possible for them to navigate the modern world. Poor accessibility to educational opportunities adds to the financial difficulties of disabled people as it reduces their opportunities to access higher-paying jobs.

Adyton is committed to enabling people with certain disabilities to become independent and to stay independent longer. To do this, Adyton offers its Pythia system to people with disabilities and their employers completely free. 

With free Pythia access, people with certain disabilities only need employers to give them a chance for independence. From there it's up to the workers to follow the verbal instructions Pythia gives them.

With Pythia, businesses can enable people with certain disabilities to follow verbally-delivered work instructions, step-by-step, on-demand, hands-free, anyplace in the world where a WiFi signal exists. There's no need for Pythia users to see, read, or memorize work instructions, they simply need to have the basic skills to perform them and listen.

Businesses using Pythia are able to confidently hire people with basic skills and certain disabilities including those with visual, memory, and attention deficits, then get their new employees working right away. This is possible because with Pythia, there's little to no need for training as long as the workers have requisite basic skills, and Pythia can help workers develop basic skills, too!

The reality is that every complicated process is nothing more than many simple steps combined, and every industry is built around just a handful of basic skills. For example, the home construction industry is based on 3 basic skills, measuring, cutting, and joining lumber, and with those skills a house can be built when provided step-by-step instructions. Similarly, if you can use glue and a screwdriver, then you can assemble any IKEA product. (Have you noticed IKEA's assembly instructions have no words?) 

Complicated processes are complicated because they have more steps than anyone can memorize, not because the steps are particularly difficult to perform. When a process has too many steps to memorize, when the steps change too often to memorize, or when a process is performed too infrequently to memorize, then those processes are actually "unlearnable" and no amount of training will enable workers to perform them. That's where Pythia comes in. 

Although workers can learn basic skills and processes by repeatedly following instructions in the Pythia system, Pythia is first and foremost a "performance enablement" system. Pythia enables workers with disabilities to perform processes that cannot be memorized, trained, or learned.

Pythia is also a "performance assurance" system because it delivers process steps in exactly the same sequence, every time and notifies a supervisor when it appears a step has been missed or underperformed. This is especially important for work being performed by people with memory and attention deficits.

FInally, Pythia is a "continuous improvement" system. After workers complete a process, they're asked to provide their suggestions for improving any part of the process or work environment.
