myHandiQR: Explaining a disability means repeating yourself.
Not anymore.
With every new person, the essentials are already there. What helps, what to avoid, what reassures: one scan and you understand in 30 seconds.
You wrote it once. You will not have to repeat it at every encounter.
- You are a parent: One profile, and every new person understands your child.
- You have a disability: One scan, and people understand you without you telling the whole story.
- You are an employee with RQTH: Your workplace adjustments read in 30 seconds, with no meeting.
- You are a carer: Hand over with the right words to whoever takes care.
Here's what the reader sees.
Léo
11 years old · middle school
Léo has dyspraxia. He understands everything very quickly, but his hand tires when writing. Speaking aloud, he's clear, funny and full of ideas.
- One instruction at a time
- Photocopy the written notes
- Cutting his food without being asked
At every encounter,
it all starts over.
A new teacher. A new classmate. A new colleague. A new neighbour. And once again you have to tell the story, explain, reassure, and find, every time, the right words for the right person.
The profile you write today speaks for you tomorrow, next year, and the year after that.
- Explaining a disability means repeating yourself.
- And you start over. Again.
- What if you wrote it down once and for all?
- You tick the disabilities that apply.
- You write: an introduction, what helps, what to avoid.
- You place the QR code wherever you like.
- The teacher scans it.
- She reads the introduction, what helps, what to avoid.
- A disability she doesn't know about? She clicks, and the explanation is tailored to her.
- It's understood the first time. You had nothing to explain again.

Three steps,
and never start over again.
You write
- Tick the disabilities
- 3 things to fill in: introduction, what helps, what to avoid
An AI assistant is there to help with the writing if needed
You share the QR code
You can:
- Print it at home
- Have it shipped to you
- Share it online
One scan to understand
- A phone scans the QR code
- The profile appears exactly as written
- One click opens the tailored explanation
The same profile,
different explanations.
You write the profile however you want, and you tick the disabilities involved. Below the text, each disability opens on a click to an explanation matched to the reader's age and role. An 8-year-old, a teacher, a first responder or a manager do not read the same version. Read it or listen to it.
Léo
11 years old · Year 7
Léo has dyspraxia. He understands everything very quickly, but his hand tires when writing and buttoning his clothes takes him time. Out loud, he is clear, funny and full of ideas. He also has mild dysorthographia, and it is not laziness.
- One instruction at a time
- Photocopy the written notes rather than have him copy them
- Give him time in the morning
- Cut his meat without being asked
Dyspraxia
A difficulty with planning movement. The child knows what needs to be done, but coordinating the movements takes a great deal of effort. When writing, his hand tires quickly, which pulls his marks down for reasons unrelated to his thinking. Favour spoken answers, fill-in-the-blank texts, or photocopy the written notes.
3 months to fine-tune it, no card required.
One click on "dyspraxia"
4 readers. 4 different explanations.
A difficulty with planning movement. The pupil understands what needs to be done, but coordinating the movements takes a great deal of effort. Favour spoken answers or a fill-in-the-blank text, and extra time in assessments.
Léo writes slowly and it is sometimes hard for him to copy out the whole lesson, but he understands all of it. If you want to help him, offer to share your notes or to work out loud together.
Dyspraxia is when certain everyday movements, writing for a long time, finding things in a school bag, take much more effort. Giving him time helps him more than doing it for him.
The teenager needs extra time for precise movements (packing his bag, handling small equipment). Break instructions down one by one and give him time.
Léo's profile itself does not change. Only the explanation of the disability adapts to the reader.
Wherever it makes a difference,
the QR does too.
The QR code lands wherever you need it: on a school bag, in an email signature, on a desk, in a wallet. Every time, it saves the same thing: the conversation you no longer want to have, the PDF you no longer want to redo.
Every school year
"Leo has dyspraxia. Here's what helps him." Read in 30 seconds by the new teacher, no late-afternoon meeting needed.
In an email signature
A discreet line under your name. The new colleague clicks if they want to, reads how you work, and closes the tab.
At training
The coach scans before the first session. They know why your child takes more time to take in instructions, and includes them rather than sidelining them.
In case of wandering
A label sewn into the coat. If your loved one gets lost, the passer-by who helps can access the family contacts, without the person having to remember the numbers.
After a stroke
The person can no longer speak, but understands everything. The laminated card tells the emergency doctor, who adjusts their communication instead of treating them as unable.
At the childminder's
A card for the babysitter about epilepsy. Recognising a seizure. What to do. No panicked call to the parents.

The questions that come up most often
What is myHandiQR?
How does myHandiQR work?
Is myHandiQR a medical record or a health tool?
Do you need to install an app to scan a myHandiQR QR code?
How much does myHandiQR cost?
Who is myHandiQR for?
What happens after the 3-month trial?
You decide. If you renew ($2/month, which is $24/year per profile), everything keeps working. If you don't renew, your account and your profiles are kept, only the QR codes stop working. You can reactivate at any time.
Can I add contact details to the profile?
Yes. You can include a phone number or email address to reach in case of need in your texts. This is useful for situations such as Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, severe autism, or any case where whoever scans might need to alert a loved one. Reminder: these details will be visible to anyone who scans. Only include what should stay public.
Is my data properly protected?
myHandiQR is an inclusive communication platform compliant with European standards, hosted in Europe. Your data is neither shared nor resold. You stay in control of the content: edit, suspend or delete it at any time.
If I edit the profile, do I have to reprint?
No. The QR never changes: it is the address of your profile, not its content. You edit the profile, and the next readers see the updated version. You only reprint if the physical medium is damaged.
Can I create a profile for my child or for a loved one?
Yes. A myHandiQR account lets you create several profiles. A parent can manage their child's profile, a family caregiver that of a loved one. The profile stays editable at any time.
How can I be sure the profile will be read, without having to explain on top of it?
The QR code scans in a few seconds with any smartphone or tablet (Android or iOS). The profile opens in the browser, with nothing to install for the person scanning. You place the QR code wherever the other person will need it (home-school notebook, badge, email signature, sticker), and the profile does the work for you.
Is the profile the same for every reader?
What if I don't want to explain my disability to the people I meet?
That is exactly what myHandiQR is for. You write the profile once, you share your QR with whoever you want, and you no longer have to tell the story at every encounter. The profile says things for you, in the words you chose.
Once to write it.
A lifetime to be understood.
The start-from-scratch recap you dread at every new encounter, you will never have to give again. The QR code sets out the context for you, written once and ready for every time you need it. 3 months free for each new profile, no bank card. Only one trial running at a time.
