Proyecto DANE — Multi-Stakeholder Co-Designed App Suite for People with Intellectual, Sensory and Communication Disabilities

Proyecto DANE began in 2012–2013 out of the Inclusion Commission of Argentina's software-industry chamber CESSI, bringing together disability-specific NGOs — APAdeA, ASDRA, Fundación Argentina de Afasia, Fundación Nosotros — alongside Universidad Tecnológica Nacional and IT companies.
Its stated process has specialists and disability-organisation partners jointly define app content and educational goals; developers then build the software; and schools test the results, with teachers trained before rollout. Apps address autism, Down syndrome, aphasia, intellectual disability and Argentine Sign Language, including the augmented-reality dressing-skills app '¿Qué me pongo?'.
The suite passed 30,000 downloads by 2014, according to independent business-news reporting, and new releases continued: in 2023 Proyecto DANE and tech partner Intive Latam launched 'Cómo pago', a money-management app letting users practise purchases and change in Argentine currency.
The most recent independently verified download figures date to 2014; the co-design documented is largely professionals and NGOs designing on behalf of, and with input from, the disability community via partner organisations and school testing, rather than disabled users directly authoring the interface.
