Who We Are

Our Story and Mission

Our Mission

Eye to Eye’s mission is to improve the educational experience and outcomes of neurodiverse young people, while engaging them and their allies in the movement for a more equitable and inclusive society.

Our Vision

Eye to Eye envisions an anti-ableist world that embraces neurodiversity.

1 Why We're Here

In the United States, 1 in 5 students learn differently. This includes those with ADHD and specific learning disabilities like dyslexia and other challenges related to learning.

Resources

2 Different not Deficient

Despite having average to above average intelligence, without proper support students who learn differently perform well below their peers in core academic proficiency resulting in lower retention, increased disciplinary actions, eventual dropout. Educators often struggle with a lack of resources (and support) to adequately meet the needs of students who learn differently, while unknowingly perpetuating harmful attitudes, misconceptions, beliefs, and practices.

3 A Student-Centered Solution

While the problem seems overwhelming, there is a simple solution. When we empower students and their teachers to develop robust social and emotional skills, create supportive environments, and cultivate advocacy and leadership skills, we provide a path out of stigma and self-doubt.
