I CAN The Shadow Project
Closing the Achievement Gap for Children Who Learn Differently

The Shadow Project teams with teachers to transform school into a place where children with disabilities can thrive. Students who experience dyslexia, ADHD, autism and trauma experience autonomy, belonging, healthy academic growth, and build confidence.

What We Do

Shadow Project has fostered academic and social-emotional growth for more than 12,500 students with learning challenges in grades K-8. Students set and meet ambitious goals, persevere through difficulty and gain up to two years in their reading ability. During the pandemic, we worked with special ed teachers to adapt our classroom-based programs for distance learning. This school year, we'll work closely with special ed teachers and families, supporting students to harness their resilience and champion their success during distance learning.

Volunteers transform the lives of our students with learning challenges. Shadow Project is seeking volunteers to support our students' reading success, increase our outreach, and join our Board of Directors, which is committed to advancing educational equity for the 1 in 5 children who learn differently.
