My name is Logan Snell. I'm 18 years old, and I live in Axtell, Kansas.

A few months ago, I learned that children with communication disabilities are abused at 3 to 4 times the rate of their

peers — and that the thing making them vulnerable is the same thing keeping them silent.

So I built them a way to speak up.

Speak is an AAC app for nonverbal children. It learns your child's diagnosis, age, and abilities and builds a

personalized communication board just for them — symbols they tap to say what they need, spoken aloud.

The feature that drove me to build it is a single button. One tap sends a silent, private alert to a trusted adult

outside the home. Nothing visible on screen. No sound. The caretaker never knows. No other AAC app has this — and it's

free for every family, on every plan, forever. Safety should never be behind a paywall.

The rest of the app — AI-assisted sentences, cloud sync, provider dashboard, school accounts — is how I keep the whole

thing running. That's what this campaign supports.

I built this alone at 18. No team, no funding, no company behind me. Just a belief that kids who can't speak deserve

better tools and a real way to ask for help.

If you know a family that needs this, share it. That matters more than the donation.
