An excerpt from the Exceptional Lives About Us Page:


We’re a team of parents and educators who know the joys and challenges of caring for children with disabilities.


If you are a parent or a teacher to children with disabilities, you know it can feel impossible to find, understand, and navigate the resources they need. And relationships between families and schools so often become tense and difficult. We’ve been there.


And we’re here to make it easier for you. Read our Founder’s story.


Our Mission

We support families and educators of children with disabilities so our kids can thrive.


Our Vision

We envision a world where families and educators of children with disabilities work in true partnership, supported by systems that create pathways for all children to reach their full potential.


What We Do

We help families and schools work together to support children with disabilities.

Families are stressed and trying to navigate a confusing maze of services and school resources for their children.

Teachers and school systems are juggling a lot of demands and trying to meet compliance requirements.

Families and schools all have the children’s best interests at heart, but disagreements and mistrust can arise.
