Why I built LightMap
I’m Tara, a mom of five, and I’ve spent 20 years learning how to parent a child who feels everything harder than other children do. Every doctor, teacher and therapist sees one slice. I was the only one who saw all of it, and I couldn’t hold it all in my head.
A therapist told me to track everything in a spreadsheet. A spreadsheet could store it, but it couldn’t read it. So I built LightMap. It reads every moment, every medication and every report together, and tells you what may be underneath and what to try next. I built it because I needed it.
