At Jessica Kingsley Publishers, our authors have been celebrated for both their lived experience and specialist expertise on autism, social work and arts therapies since we started in 1987. Since then, we've broken ground in education, mental health, gender diversity, adoption, and neurodiversity, as we persist in seeking out voices that have been, and continue to be, underrepresented in our world.
Our publishing aims to address the challenges our communities face, while establishing positive narratives about difference that uplift and empower.
We are Widgit, a pioneering software company with a passion for symbols-based communication. We empower individuals to express themselves independently through symbols, aiding comprehension and understanding across any environment.
We primarily cater to individuals with communication difficulties of all ages, including autistic people, learning disabilities, and speech impairments. Our solutions are designed to support educators, therapists, and caregivers by enhancing inclusive learning environments while promoting meaningful interactions.
Our Widgit Online and InPrint software give users access to our entire symbol language, designed to meet the unique needs of symbol users across a multitude of settings. From flashcards to vocabulary lists to fully symbolised books, our solutions make it easy to personalise a wide range of materials – helping to facilitate communication in the everyday world.
