The biggest barriers that parents with kids who have learning and thinking differences face is lack of information. It's true that there's no roadmap for raising kids, but guidebooks do exist. Unfortunately, few of them are designed for families with kids who learn and think differently. This leaves families lost and alone, as they navigate challenges and biases. 

​

So we decided to do something about it with the Translator of Difference. 

​

The Understood community has thousands of families who've already been through it – the doubts, the questions, even the figuring it out. Could their

experiences help other families who are only just starting to figure it out?

 

The Translator of Difference collects these experiences so that the technology powering the translator can find patterns in the experiences already recorded and translate the sign or symptom that is causing a family confusion. Machines learn through data. So of course, the more data we get, the more accurate the translator will be. That's why, the Understood community is encouraged to keep donating their experiences if they're willing.
