Your Child Can Thrive in School

Parents, you know better than anyone how much potential your child has. You also know what can happen when their learning needs aren’t met.

The Shadow Project teams with teachers to transform school into a place where kids who learn differently can learn, belong and thrive.

Kids with dyslexia, ADHD, autism and related challenges in our program have become classroom leaders, mentors and national reading champions.

Our Stories

``Our kids with disabilities are reminded of their deficits every day. But with The Shadow Project, instead of feeling shame for being in special education, my son felt proud. There’s nothing in schools that celebrates kids’ strengths like this.``
