The Shadow Project

Mission

We envision an education system that normalizes and celebrates learning differences, and supports every student to thrive in school.

The mission of The Shadow Project is to make school more accessible and engaging for children with disabilities, so they can achieve their full potential. 

Bottom Line

School should work for every student. 1 in 5 children has a learning or attention challenge that makes school difficult. Without the right support, they become discouraged and may even give up trying. That's why The Shadow Project teams up with teachers to make school a place where children who learn differently can thrive and belong.

As one parent put it, "Our kids with disabilities are reminded of their deficits every day.  There’s nothing that celebrates their strengths like The Shadow Project.”

Your gift to The Shadow Project helps to provide real resources, training, and consistency in an unstable public education environment. Our research-based programs are something schools, teachers, and students can count on no matter what else is changing around them.

More than 26,000 students have been supported by The Shadow Project. View our partner schools and districts here: shadow-project.org/school-programs
