How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Peer-Powered Social Development
    methodology: peer_powered_learning
    By pairing disabled children with typically developing peers, we foster social development before formal schooling because peer modeling and relational engagement create natural learning opportunities that traditional interventions may not provide.
