The Shadow Project
Changing Lives for Children With Learning Challenges

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

What We Do

The Shadow Project's mission is to make school more accessible and engaging for children with disabilities, so they can achieve their full potential. We envision an education system that normalizes and celebrates learning differences, and supports every student to thrive in school. We partner with schools to increase educational opportunities for the 1 in 5 students with learning and attention challenges. Using our programs, students develop strong academic habits, master social emotional skills, and gain grade levels in reading.

John's Story

John used to have a secret: he was only pretending to read. The Shadow Project gave him the tools that he and his teachers needed to succeed.

We’re building a generation of children who feel pride and strength, instead of shame.
