The Intersection of Race + Dis/ability
These are trying times for people of color. Between the global pandemic and the racial unrest sparked by the killings of unarmed black men, our children with dis/abilities face additional barriers to access, equity and dignity. As families grapple with the impact of the novel coronavirus, racial unrest, and school closures, we want to provide support where we can.
On this page, you will find access to reliable advice and information. If you and your family need help getting the service and support your child needs, please do not hesitate to contact us.
