About BASE

BASE is a care coordination, longitudinal tracking, and insights platform built first for families navigating autism. It brings information from everyday life, caregivers, therapy, and school into one organized place, so every adult supporting a child is working from the same picture.

The child is the hero. BASE is their home base. Our product loop is simple: track what happens, connect the people who need to know, understand the patterns over time, and celebrate progress that would otherwise go unnoticed.

What BASE is not

BASE does not diagnose, and it does not provide medical advice.
It does not replace licensed clinicians, therapists, or educators.
Our published guides are educational. They cite primary sources so you can verify every detail.

The team

Two co-founders, both parents raising children with support needs. We write from lived experience and say so plainly. Where a topic requires clinical, legal, or benefits expertise we do not have, we cite the authoritative source directly rather than implying credentials we do not hold.

Our editorial standard

Every guide opens with a direct answer, so you get help before you get a pitch.
Every guide names its author, its published date, and its last-reviewed date.
Every significant claim links to a primary source: CDC, NIH, CMS, the Department of Education, or peer-reviewed research.
We never invent statistics, credentials, reviewers, eligibility rules, or testimonials.
Benefits and state pages carry a jurisdiction note, because those rules change and vary.

Built by moms who live this.

BASE didn't start in a boardroom. It started in carpool lines, therapy waiting rooms, and late-night text threads.

We're Rachell Dumas and Shanaé Murraine, two moms of children with autism, and two people who know what it feels like when care coordination falls apart. Between us, we've juggled therapists, schools, IEP meetings, and the endless handoffs that come with co-parenting across two households. We've lived the worry that someone important didn't get the update, and the exhaustion of repeating the same story to every new caregiver.

Shanaé Murraine also built and runs a special-needs and autism transportation company, so she has spent years watching families struggle with the same thing: it's not just the appointments; it's the people. The aides, grandparents, therapists, teachers, and drivers who all love the same child but rarely have one shared place to stay aligned.

We started BASE because we wished something like this had existed for our own families. A single, calm, trustworthy home base where every caregiver can see the whole child, not just their corner of the schedule.

“Every caregiver, on the same page, so every child is seen as the hero they are.”

BASE is in early validation, so we're focused on Founding Families rather than locking in prices. We're exploring family subscriptions alongside provider, employer, health-plan, school and community-sponsored access so cost is never the reason a family goes without coordination.
