We are Understood.

We are the lifelong guide for those who learn and think differently. We believe every person should have an opportunity to thrive, regardless of how they learn and think.

For many of the 1 in 5 people with learning and thinking differences, or around 70 million people in the United States, this is not a reality. In the past year, we’ve helped more than 20 million people discover their potentials, take control of their lives, and stay on positive paths.

We created our public service advertising campaign “The Reason” so that parents and people that care about learning and thinking differences know that they have a resource. Understanding and doing what you can to help are both important steps in shaping a better world for those who learn and think differently — helping them feel less alone and more understood.
