About Us

JABstone is a software company that specializes in speech communication technology for special needs children and adults. JABstone was started by the parents of a child with Down syndrome and apraxia of speech. As parents, we were focused on finding the right AAC program for our son. After witnessing our son's frustration with various speech systems, we decided to build an application tailored to his specific needs. We created personalized images and voice files instead of using the unfamiliar icons and computerized voice features found in other speech systems. After our son used the application for a couple of weeks, the improvements in his communication and speech wildly exceeded our expectations. The results of our experiment ultimately led to the formation of JABstone and the Android app JABtalk.
