Our Story

Our Story: Brady's Voice

BRAVO = Brady's + Voice. A family's 20-year journey to set their son's voice free.

Blake created Bravo out of love for our son, Brady. For the past 20 years, Brady has successfully used Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to communicate

AAC refers to all the ways someone communicates besides talking. Brady has always used a single switch to access a communication device to express himself. While he is incredibly proficient with his communication device, the limitations of pre-programmed vocabulary sometimes hindered Brady's ability to fully express himself and connect socially.

Bravo was created by parents of a son who has been using AAC for over 20 years. We've seen how Brady and AAC have progressed together, but we knew there had to be a better way.

With AI, we created an AAC application that truly captures Brady's voice. Our goal is to create an AAC application without limits. Users are no longer limited by what is manually programmed - AI dynamically creates options that may not have even been considered, while still representing the user's authentic voice.

Brady is also no longer limited by expensive and bulky devices. Bravo can be installed on easily portable and affordable devices and even moved from one device to another.

"With Bravo, we now hear Brady's TRUE voice. He can express his TRUE self in ways and places we could have only imagined before."
