From our community of supporters

  • “As a parent navigating special education and a special education advocate myself, I’ve seen firsthand how much families need clear, trustworthy resources to understand their children’s learning differences. Understood.org fills that gap in a way nothing else does, which is why I support their work.”
    — Deborah, Understood donor
  • “I donate to Understood because I was not diagnosed with ADHD until my mid 30s and it has made a difference to feel seen and supported by other people. My hope in giving is that more people can get the support and understanding that they need as kids and young adults to help realize their full potential and dreams at a younger age. And to not feel as alone in the process.”
    — Jess, Understood donor
