Community
We create meaningful partnerships to support the many needs of our learners and their families.
Our mission is to support and empower neurodiverse learners through advocacy, education, and services. We aim to build a world where individuals with neurodiverse learning needs are included, empowered, and celebrated.
Our programs are designed to help students learn on their own terms, in the ways that work for them. In the short term, we teach students and parents how to advocate for their rights in the classroom. In the long term, we want to make sure they don’t have to. Our goal is a world where our organization isn’t needed – where every student automatically gets the help they deserve.
Who Do We Serve?
We support any neurodiverse learner who can benefit from our programs, with a primary focus on:
- Those with dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, dyspraxia, non-verbal and other learning disabilities.
- Those with ADHD.
- Those with Level 1 Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
- Those with mental health issues that affect their learning.
