We’re proud to share that CPARF’s 2025 Remarkable US Accelerator cohort kicks off this week! This program supports disability-focused startups that are developing cutting-edge assistive technology. Remarkable US brings life-changing ideas to market faster and ensures people with disabilities can access affordable new technology as soon as possible.  

Meet the 2025 Cohort: 

 

The Ask Grandma Project

The Ask Grandma Project  

Ask Grandma is a mobile health app developed by an Indigenous speech-language pathologist and researcher at Johns Hopkins University. The app offers Indigenous caregivers a trusted, grandmother-like voice to turn to when they’re worried about their child’s development. With warmth and cultural grounding, Ask Grandma blends developmental science with Indigenous caregiving wisdom, answering questions like “My toddler isn’t talking yet. What should I do?” The app gently guides families toward supportive services, weaving in storytelling, tradition, and reassurance. Ask Grandma bridges gaps in access, honors native culture, and empowers families with both knowledge and connection.
