Through your child’s eyes

What does it feel like to learn and think differently? Watch these videos to see the world through your child’s eyes. Kids of different ages talk about how it feels to learn and think differently — and what helps them thrive.

Hear how hard it is to complete a task when you have trouble focusing. Or how frustrating it is when your hand won’t write what your brain is telling it to write.

Coming soon!

It will include simulations and videos with real-life scenarios from multiple kids who learn and think differently. Plus, there will be new supplemental resources available, like lesson plans.
