Our mission
By developing accessible communications for everyone regardless of their abilities, Dicapta focuses on ensuring that media, entertainment, and culture are widely available and accessible for people with sensory disabilities, and Latinos in the U.S.

Latino
"The U.S. Latino population reached 62.1 million in 2020, up from 50.5 million in 2010." Pew Research Center, 2021.
Considering that in 2020 Latinos were the 19% of the U.S. population and that the incidence of disabilities in this community is increasing faster than in other races, we at Dicapta concentrate our efforts on serving the specific needs of Latinos with disabilities.

Accessibility
"The U.S. Latino population reached 62.1 million in 2020, up from 50.5 million in 2010." Pew Research Center, 2021.
For us, accessibility is how usable a product, service, media piece, educational tool, website, and cultural or entertainment activity is by people with disabilities.
Accessibility is a meaningful word that invites us to think about inclusion and equality.
