About Us
Who are we, what do we do, and how we do it.
Our Story
- At Diego’s Journey, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential. Our journey began with two remarkable individuals whose life stories inspired us to make a difference.
- Shubhneet, one of our members in the team, was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 24. For years, his struggles with attention and focus went unnoticed, impacting his education and daily life. It was a late diagnosis that left him wondering: "What if I had received the support I needed earlier?"
- Michael L. Tipsord, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, faced a different but equally profound challenge in his early years. He was born with hearing loss, a condition that went undetected until he was 5 years old. This delay in diagnosis and intervention hindered his ability to communicate and connect with others during those formative years.
These three stories, each marked by the impact of late diagnosis, are the driving force behind Diego’s Journey. We firmly believe that early detection and intervention can change the trajectory of a child's life. Our mission is to empower parents, caregivers, and educators with the tools they need to identify potential disabilities in children aged 0-5, so they can access the support and resources necessary for their development.
How we keep Diego's Journey Free?
Part of our mission surrounding Diego’s Journey was creating an educational tool that is ad-free,
accessible to everyone, and inclusive for all socioeconomic backgrounds. As proud partners of the Center
for Disease Control, we are able to keep Diego’s Journey free to all users. Further, our research
partners in the National Health Institute Survey sector of the CDC benefit from the data provided by
Diego’s Journey users to further their research on learning disabilities in children. Win-win!
