Let’s shape the world for difference
We envision a neuroinclusive world where all ways of learning and thinking are embraced. A place where all people feel a sense of belonging at school, at work, and in life.
Our theory of change centers on building knowledge, shifting attitudes, and changing behaviors around learning and thinking differences. These three things can lead to great results. They create conditions that let people with differences thrive. They help workplaces become more inclusive. They drive advocacy.
Our goal is to make an impact on 100 million people by 2030. We’ll do that with innovative products, digital content, and leading-edge research. Strategic partners provide the support we need to advance towards that goal. Learn about the impact we’ve made so far in our Annual Report.

We’re in this together.

Founding partners
In 2014, 15 nonprofit organizations came together to provide families with a comprehensive resource that no single organization could offer on its own. Diverse in their specialties but united by a common desire to help families of kids who learn and think differently, these founding partners continue to be collaborators in our work.
