What our members are saying

There are so many families out there with children with special needs, and there simply is not enough support available or easily accessible. This is why I am so excited about this community and the unlimited potential it has to connect families to provide a vast array of information and support

Helpful Community; Great App! When you’re dealing with a life-altering diagnosis like Autism, things can get pretty lonely. Vitalxchange helps by giving us a community that is dealing with the same kinds of issues. The folks on the app are very kind and caring. I can always find great resources there and can ask the community for whatever I need to know. I’m so glad this app exists. It makes navigating the challenges of caring for a child on the Autism Spectrum easier because you know you’re not alone.

Great resource for information and support! We have found Vitalxchange to be very helpful. Good information sharing for current resources and events as well as support to help us navigate the needs of our son, and as a result for our family. We have been pleased to see the community growing. It’s apparent that thoughtful consideration and planning has gone into the development of this app.

Special app!! Wonderful community!! Vitalxchange is truly a wonderful app that connects family members and professionals of children and clients with disabilities to discuss challenges, best practices, therapy, and other community topics. The resources available are tremendous and I am very grateful to have access to this app. I recommend this to anyone who has been blessed to have someone with special needs in their life.
Dad14 y.o boy with autism
I would definitely recommend this app! It is so helpful to be able to connect with people who can relate to the feelings, concerns, questions, etc. that I have as a parent of a child with autism while also having my privacy (and the privacy of my child) protected. I love that it connects me with people in my general area too because it allows for the sharing of local resources that can help to meet our needs. The community that I have been connected with is so informative and supportive.

Today was a hard day. It is so hard for other people to understand (friends and family)…which is why Vitalxchange can be so helpful.

We all can identify with at least some of the same issues. Know this community supports you.

It is comforting to know that you are with others swimming in similar lanes. Many of us need extra support and resources now due to Covid-19.
Dad9 yo boy with autism
There’s nothing of it’s kind out there for parents and it’s a way for me to reach out to others who may have gone through what I am or can help with advice. Just knowing your not alone is huge.

I joined this app to gain more insight on my son’s disability and to have an overall place for support.

Why we created Vitalxchange and why you should join us

Our story began, when we, like most people, were constantly searching for health information all the time to understand a symptom, to find a doctor, to help a child with learning issue, to confirm a diagnosis or know when to seek a second opinion.
 
We googled and sorted through hundreds of search results, felt overwhelmed and most of the time did not know how to process and what to do next. Medical sources like WebMD were only useful only if you knew the exact terms to look for. The formal language was difficult to process and often we falsely self-diagnosed, resulting in even more anxiety! When we tried joining health groups like those on Facebook, we got quite concerned about the accuracy of highly opinionated information and exposing all our private health information to be exploited by Facebook. We were also afraid of being judged or trolled by other members of the group, which we could see was quite common.
 
We were quite frustrated and knew that most others felt the same way.
 
So, we created Vitalxchange.
Vitalxchange is a private health community app where people are able to connect and talk directly with health experts. Using special matching technology we make it easy for you to find and connect with the right
experts.
 
Our goal is to ensure that everyone has access to the information they need to make good health choices without feeling isolated or overwhelmed.
 
We are currently focused on supporting families caring for children with
special needs or developmental challenges.
We are very transparent about how we make money.
 
The app is always free.
 
You choose the experts you want to chat with you or buy other services
from.
 
When you pay for the services, we take a small part of the fee to facilitate
the transaction.
 
Our experts are carefully interviewed and selected. They pay us a fee to remain listed on the platform and offer their services on the platform. You get to rate our experts and only experts that maintain high ratings can stay
on the platform.
Vitalxchange helps you get access to all the information you need to understand and make decisions about your child’s health and development.
 
It provides you access to qualified expertise and resources to make your own provider choices.
 
The health and well-being of ourselves and our families is one of the biggest assets in life. We want to you be empowered and have a strong informed voice at every table where decisions are made about your children or your
health are made.
 
Lastly, if you have experience that could be the guiding book for others, this is the place for you to help thousands of others on similar journeys.
