Our community is made up of:
K-12 schools
Arts organizations
Museums
And more!
Young people with disabilities
Parents and caregivers
Siblings
Families

Establish equitable access to spaces for play for all NYC-based school-aged, neurodivergent youth – resulting in fun and brave spaces that cultivate belonging and community.
Our 3-Year Vision
