The Founder’s Story
My name is Yumi Kubo and I am the mother of two children. I have a daughter who is eighteen years old, and a son, Wataru, who is fifteen years old. My first delivery was difficult, but we had a healthy baby. Shortly after his birth, I started encounting into many problems.
The Professionals
When I was informed that my son may have autism, I was sent to another specialized hospital. It wasn’t until several months later that he was diagnosed with autism. He was put into specialized classes for his early childhood education. He had already learned several things like how to distinguish between the different colors.
The Graphics & Audio
Let me explain why Voice4u’s characters all look like aliens. The alien looking characters were developed because specialists, he teachers and speech therapists recommended that the icons not wear clothes and not have hair.
The Easy Design
Because I had struggled so much with communication devices for more than ten years, I shared with them loads upon loads of ideas and suggestions, being sure to include the ideas of specialists and mothers as well.
