DESIGN SKILLS AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR DISABLED YOUTH
OUR MISSION
AWARENESS
Raise awareness about the power of design and STEM education.
SUPPORT
Identify and support inclusive designers & brands.
GROW
Support and grow a community for kids and parents to help foster learning.
Workshops
Design With Us is founded on the belief that disabled youth have an incredible opportunity to use their lived experiences to create helpful and fun things. Our workshops offer skills around brainstorming, prototyping and communicating ideas to others. Our in-person workshops are currently slow to return until the pandemic is less dangerous. We are expanding our virtual workshops to teachers and school districts.

Listen to Disabled Voices
As the parent of a child with a physical disability, I have grown in my understanding and knowledge of the disability community through the years. If you dig into the beginnings of this blog, you'll see I used the words "special needs" and "different" a lot. I use the word "disability" now.
