We have created private communities where special needs families and passionate professionals come together to share information and help each other. Vitalxchange communities are always free and moderated for safety. It is a place where parents can ask even the most sensitive questions anonymously without being concerned about privacy like other social media groups.

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.

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.

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.

The agency I work for has joined Vitalxchange, it was recommended that we check it out and sign up. So far I am really liking it!

I am finding a lot of information that I would not have had access to before installing the app.

Why you should join us

How does Vitalxchange select its special needs experts?

We have a detailed vetting process where we only invite professionals from known special needs and pediatric therapy influencer networks like Inspired Treehouse, Pink Oatmeal, and our own personal networks.

Every expert applying to join the Vitalxchange network has to fill out a detailed intake form that collects their background and why they want to join us.

Based on this information, our team verifies their identity and state license validity.

Each expert also undergoes a virtual interview with the founders.

Once they join the network, we have identity verification through Stripe as part of our standard onboarding process

How do we make money?

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.

Why should you join Vitalxchange?

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 choices, without being constrained by those offered by your local school system, geography or insurance.

The health and well-being of our families is one of the biggest assets in life. We want you to be empowered and have a strong informed voice at every table where decisions are made about our children. We want to provide you with information and resources to give your children every chance they deserve, through every phase of life – from birth to adulthood.

Lastly, if you have experiences that could be the guiding book for others, this is the place for you to help thousands of others on similar journeys.
