Acknowlegment
The app will not be possible without the support of the Crowter family. After I have formed the idea, my previous supervisor in the University of Birmingham, Prof. Alan Wing, encouraged me to enter the Inclusive Technology Prize. I also asked Liz Crowter, whose daughter Heidi has Down Syndrome, if Heidi would like to get involved. Liz told me that Heidi loves cooking and her sister Suzie has been helping her. She already has a folder with a number of recipes printed in large fonts. We managed to become the semi-finalist of the prize. Suzie has been helping me to take pictures of the recipes and test it out with other people. Heidi has been helping with the testing and Liz has been a great help in promoting the app. I also need to thank my ex-colleague and friend Jo Howe, who is a true inspiration, for her advice and her time in testing it out.
