Friendclips

Friendclips helps you collect brief, personal video messages from close friends, family or associates and conveniently organize them by their role in your life.

You know that warm feeling you get watching home movies? Friendclips captures that experience in a new way. You become the casting director, inviting people who play or have played an important part in your life to record a message you can watch to remind you of them and moments you have shared. Nearly half of Americans say they feel lonely. In this mobile society, we can’t always be with the ones we love, but with Friendclips, we can hear a message from them any time we choose.

Friendclips is part of a suite of tools created by Know Me Inc to enrich the lives of people with communication and other disabilities.

Know Me Inc was founded by the mother of a son with multiple disabilities. She concluded communication was the factor most likely to limit his long term quality of life; and that this is true for many people with disabilities including autism, dementia, Alzheimer's, apraxia, aphasia, articulation disorder/delay, dysarthria, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, downs syndrome, developmental and intellectual disabilities.

She hopes for a day when these different interest groups come together to solve this very serious problem. Go to knowme.works for more of the story and learn how you can join her in this rewarding work.
