Support

Our Sherpas are AI-powered virtual assistants, each skilled in areas like speech therapy, occupational therapy, behavior, and nutrition. Named after the expert Himalayan guides, they help parents navigate the challenges of raising children, especially those with special needs. They provide personalized advice, answer questions, and offer strategies to support your child’s unique development journey.

Sherpa works by combining advanced AI technology with expert knowledge in child development and parenting. Once you sign up and enter your child’s specific needs and goals, Sherpa's AI algorithms analyze this information. Depending on the area of focus—be it speech, occupational therapy, behavior, or nutrition—your designated Sherpa then provides tailored advice, activities, and strategies. These recommendations are based on the latest research and practices in each field. You can interact with your Sherpa through the app, ask questions, track progress, and receive ongoing, personalized support to assist you in your parenting journey.

We prioritize your child's privacy by minimizing the collection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII). For example, we encourage the use of nicknames instead of full names within the app. Additionally, our platform incorporates Google's Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions to identify and remove any PII from sensitive documents, like IEPs. To further support informed decisions, we offer resources such as FTC guidelines on children's privacy, keeping parents well-informed about privacy protection measures.
