Open Source Special Needs Devices
Home: California, United States
We are building open source special needs devices trying to solve one unmet need at a time. We will have our 3rd deployed device with us that communication device build for a non verbal 3 year old to help her communicate her basic needs to her caregiver so she will no longer need to cowboy it when she is for instance hungry or thirsty. This is interactive and we want everyone to "Push The Button"
