Driving Equity for Students with Learning Challenges
The Shadow Project partners with schools to increase educational opportunities for the 1 in 5 children with learning and attention challenges. Students develop strong academic habits, master social emotional skills critical for academic and life success, and gain up to two years in their reading ability.
School programs are fully adapted for remote/hybrid learning
and feature culturally responsive, trauma informed training for educators.

“The Shadow Project is a vital partner. Our kids have the tools to access learning, and our teachers have the training to help them. That’s how you empower children.”
Retired Principal, Portland Public Schools
