Together is a bilingual digital home for families raising a child on the autism spectrum — trusted information, a verified directory of ABA centers, and a warm community that pairs families who understand each other's journey.
Together translates the U.S. healthcare and education systems — IEPs, insurance mandates, therapy options — into a single, culturally relevant, bilingual space designed around what families actually need.
Project N1 began as a centralized digital ecosystem for parents in the U.S. with children on the autism spectrum. Its job is to act as an intelligent navigator — translating the complexity of IEPs, insurance mandates, and state-specific Medicaid waivers into accessible, culturally relevant language.
Beyond information, the platform fosters a support community connecting families with specialists in functional medicine, nutrition, and neurodiversity, plus a personalized tracking tool so parents can document progress and protocol responses — creating a data-driven bridge between home life and clinical care.
The result, live at alwaystogheter.com, is Together: three pillars — Learn, Find ABA Centers, and Connect — built into one warm, bilingual product.
The need for Together is underscored by real disparities in U.S. healthcare access — disparities that hit Hispanic families hardest.
Per the CDC (2023), autism prevalence is similar across ethnic groups (~1 in 36 children) — yet Hispanic children are diagnosed later and face greater barriers to specialized services.
Language gaps compound the "administrative burden" of navigating state-specific Medicaid waivers and IDEA — a maze most families face without a guide.
Up to 95% of children with ASD experience co-occurring conditions like GI issues or sleep disorders — yet care stays fragmented and families are left to coordinate it alone.
The design challenge was tonal as much as structural: build something clinically credible without ever feeling clinical.
Grounded the product in CDC data and the real gap between Hispanic families and specialized autism care in the U.S.
Distilled a complex problem space into three clear pillars: Learn, Find ABA Centers, and Connect — each solving one part of the burden.
Chose a warm, illustrated, rounded visual language on purpose — the opposite of a sterile healthcare portal — and built it bilingual from the ground up.
Shipped a responsive, component-based front end with a live EN/ES toggle, a searchable provider directory, and a family-matching flow.
A tour of the live experience at alwaystogheter.com — recreated here screen by screen.
Up-to-date, expert-reviewed information about autism.
A curated directory of trusted ABA centers near you.
Be paired with another family by age, interests and location.
No clinical iconography, no jargon up top — just a direct, human headline and three ways in, backed by real numbers that build trust immediately.
Every surface — navigation, resources, provider profiles — ships in English and Spanish from a single toggle. It's not a translated afterthought; it's core to Project N1's thesis: Hispanic cultural competency is part of the care, not an add-on.
Small, everyday moments — the ones the platform is quietly built to protect.
