We mobilize cross-sector partners to reimagine home accessibility for children with disabilities.
Our Vision
A future where every child with disabilities can thrive at home, fully supported by the systems and communities around them.
Our Approach
We center a transdisciplinary approach, uniting multiple areas of expertise to initiate conversations, share knowledge, foster collaboration and develop solutions.
Health and Social Care
We bring clinical expertise to identify barriers and develop evidence-based solutions for children's health and wellbeing at home.
Design
We apply accessible design principles to reimagine homes that adapt to children's needs and foster independence, safety, and joy.
LIVED EXPERIENCES
We center the voices of families and persons with disabilities, ensuring their expertise shapes every decision.
PUBLIC POLICY
We analyze policy gaps and advocate for systemic change to make home accessibility a funded priority and a recognized right.
What We Do
Catalyze Research
We identify knowledge gaps and conduct research that centers family experiences, documents accessibility barriers, and builds the evidence base needed to drive systems change.
Conduct Partnerships
We convene diverse stakeholders—families, clinicians, designers, researchers, policymakers, program leaders, and funders — to co-create solutions and break down silos between sectors that serve children with disabilities.
Support Advocacy
We equip families and advocates with knowledge, tools, and community connections to navigate systems, demand change, and ensure their voices are heard in spaces where decisions are made.
Advise and Connect Collaborators
We provide guidance to organizations, policymakers, and practitioners working to improve home accessibility, connecting them with expertise, resources, and partners to amplify their impact.
