Know Me – Communicating Personhood

People with communication difficulties can have trouble quickly conveying important information about themselves...the facts and clues that help tell us who a person is; what they want and need. This app helps them do this by creating a variety of profiles targeted to key people in their lives: employers, medical personnel, coaches, etc. An upgrade to Robust version adds tools to help the person's team collaborate to ensure that the profiles do the best job possible of conveying the "voice" of the individual.

What makes Know Me unique?
We're toolmakers dedicated to puzzling out solutions for people with communication difficulties of all types. We also try to make our tools fit any age group or ability level. As a result, seniors with dementia and preschoolers with autism are both likely candidates for our apps.

People with communication difficulties often rely on others to tell their stories. In meeting people, they may even be referred to in the third person. With Know Me, users carry and share their own information. Their profile reveals how to communicate with them directly.
