VOXCounts

Welcome to QuietMindsMatter

Our Core Values

At QuietMindsMatter, we believe that silence at no time is an option. We design convenient, affordable communication resources that assist nonverbal students in expressing their emotions, thoughts, and needs beyond school settings. Each mind matters. Each voice counts.

We are grounded in Social Emotional Learning (SEL), ensuring that all students embrace education, regardless of their ability to speak. We develop resources that promote authentic relationships, mindfulness, and expression throughout the classroom and community.

Why VOXCounts

Traditional AAC devices cost thousands of dollars, usually unreachable to students who need them the most. QuietMindsMatter decided to make a change. VoxCounts is:

100% Free - No payment fees, no hidden costs
Web-Based - Available in any electronic device with internet connection
Suitable for Middle Schoolers and Beyond - Age-appropriate language that respects the maturity of young adults
Customizable - Four grid sizes (2×3, 2×4, 3×4, 4×4) to match the needs of students
Built with Experts - Partnered with speech-language pathologists and AAC specialists

Our Impact

VoxCounts was created in partnership with Galveston ISD and shaped by inputs from:

Mrs. Moore, Galveston ISD Speech Pathologist
Dr. Lanh Le, Lead Speech-Language Pathologist at Galveston ISD
AssistiveWare, a Global Leader in AAC Technology
Mrs. Villani, Central Middle School SPED Teacher & Life Skills Class

In April 2026, VoxCounts won GOLD in the Career Pathways Showcase Human Services at the SkillsUSA State Competition (April 8-11, 2026). But our real success is measured in the students who can finally have a voice.
