Support for the 1 in 5

With your contribution, we can make real, positive impact for the 70 million people in the United States who learn and think differently.

Together, we will grow our community of allies and advocates by increasing our pool of experts and resources. By empowering those who face these learning challenges and encouraging them to be their own best champions they will have more of an opportunity to thrive in school, at work, and throughout life.

With your help, we can continue shaping the world for difference. Because differences make the world worth exploring. Differences define who we are.
 Differences are our greatest strength.
