About this organization
Mission
The mission of the Shadow Project is to make school more accessible and engaging for children with disabilities, so they can achieve their full potential.
About
With the conviction that all students can graduate given access to the right supports early on, the Shadow Project partners with teachers at 38 elementary and middle schools to alter the educational pathway for children whose challenges include dyslexia, ADHD, autism and other special education needs. Working through an equity lens, Shadow focuses on high-needs schools to create a more inclusive environment for chronically underserved children. We equip schools with evidence-based tools, technology and strategies tailored to children whose disabilities impact learning and support teachers to integrate these resources into their classrooms. The Shadow Project has helped unleash potential for more than 11,000 children who struggle to read, write, focus or fit in. External evaluation of our collaborative work with schools shows growing evidence of impact on key academic and social-emotional skills: students who were up to three years behind have gained as much as two grade levels in reading; 73% of students benefitting from our sensory spaces have improved self-regulation; and 72% of students strongly believe that mistakes help them learn.
