Gaining perspective is how we grow. As moms of kids with special needs, we share the stories of our lives to help our community gain a better understanding of what it’s like to live a day in the life of our shoes.

We create a safe space for community members to ask questions and learn how to create an inclusive place for all.

To learn more and find out how we can tailor our presentation for your school, reach out to Larkin O’Leary at [email protected]

Be the One

Someone who pledges to Be the One pushes past feelings of discomfort and fear to say hello and get to know someone they perceive as different. They invite others to join in and offer their help if it’s needed. They recognize the inherent value that every individual possesses and find joy in discovering the strength in our diversity. Even if no one else is, you can pledge to Be The One!

Be The One!

I pledge to Be the One is one who pushes past my feelings of discomfort and fear to say hello and get to know someone I perceive as different.

Even if no one else is, I pledge to Be The One!
