ABOUT US

MISSION

Mission

REEL ensures neurodivergent, twice-exceptional students thrive by raising parent and educator awareness and understanding of practical, research-based strategies to address their educational needs successfully.

Vision

Our vision is that all neurodivergent, twice-exceptional children are recognized, appreciated, encouraged, and empowered to use their immense strengths and unique lived experience to achieve their goals.

About Us

REEL is a Bay Area-based nonprofit organization with a national reach, supporting neurodivergent, twice-exceptional (2e) learners by building bridges between their educators and parents. While not ignoring the real struggles created by living in a world that often focuses more on their challenges, we believe in the power and potential of neurodivergent, twice-exceptional learners, and center our work on their strengths and possibilities.
