Lisa Brandolo Johnson, a physical therapist, and Jeffrey
Johnson, a software
engineer, are a married team with three children, who combined our skills
along with our personal experience to found Grembe Apps. Grembe's
mission is
to create quality, versatile, affordable apps for parents and
professionals who
care for children with special needs. The use of the iPhone, iPod, and
iPad has
been a revolutionary new platform for assistive technology, and we look
forward
to expanding on what we've built and moving into
other technologies and
devices.
We are starting Grembe Apps Consulting, building apps that make a difference. Please email us if you have a project or idea that you want to bring to the iPhone, iPad, or Android OS. We know the excitement of turning an idea into reality and seeing how it grows. Let us bring your app to life.
