We presume competence - that is we assume that under any behaviors is a perfectly intelligent being.

Our Story

Real Voices began as a dream that Owen Simons and his parents Wystan and Edward had, for a place that would be an academic and social bridge to the rest of the world. Owen was presumed intellectually disabled until May of 2018, when his voice was freed.
