About LEF

 

Purpose Statement

Learning Equity Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing equitable access to neurodivergent educational support services for underserved families and communities. Our mission is to eliminate financial barriers that prevent neurodivergent learners from accessing essential tools, resources, and advocacy support needed for educational success.

​

We operate exclusively for charitable and educational purposes by:

• Providing free or sliding-scale educational courses on IEP advocacy, neurodivergent-friendly classroom strategies, and positive affirmation techniques for parents and caregivers of neurodivergent children

• Offering no-cost access to worksheets, assessment tools, and educational resources designed to support neurodivergent learners' academic and social development

• Maintaining a comprehensive resource directory connecting families to disability-affirming healthcare providers, educational specialists, and support services

• Developing and distributing educational materials about neurodiversity, learning differences, and effective accommodation strategies

• Providing mentorship and guidance to parents navigating special education systems and advocating for their children's educational rights

​

We serve families with neurodivergent children (including but not limited to those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning differences) who face financial barriers to accessing private educational support services. Priority is given to low-income families, families without adequate insurance coverage for developmental services, and communities with limited access to neurodiversity-affirming educational resources.

​

Our primary activities include operating educational workshops, maintaining online resource libraries, providing one-on-one parent coaching, developing culturally responsive neurodiversity materials, and collaborating with schools to improve accessibility and inclusion for neurodivergent students.
