What We Do
WE AMPLIFY VOICES
Celebrating Neurodiversity Through Authentic Narratives
At the heart of our mission is storytelling. We amplify the diverse narratives and lived experiences of individuals within the disability community, fostering understanding, connection, and empowerment. Through initiatives like our nationally viewed PBS Newshour Documentary, we bring real stories to the forefront, ensuring that every voice is heard and valued.
WE CREATE SUPPORTIVE SPACES
Empowering Communities, One Space at a Time
We believe in building supportive communities that meet you where you are. Our Sensory Sundays provide sensory-friendly activities for families, creating a space where everyone feels welcome and at ease. For those seeking connection online, we offer vibrant support groups through WhatsApp, Facebook, and Snapchat, fostering meaningful conversations and connections in the digital space. Additionally, Dr. Abyan’s weekly circle with parents offers a nurturing environment to share experiences, gain insights, and build a strong support network.
WE EDUCATE & TRAIN
Knowledge That Empowers Action
We empower the community with knowledge and resources. Through monthly workshops, media interviews, and documentaries, we raise awareness and build cultural understanding of autism and related disabilities. For personalized support, our active board members provide one-on-one assistance to help families navigate challenges with schools, county services, and disability-related systems. Together, we’re fostering informed and empowered communities.
