About us

Our story

We not only dream of a world of respect, acceptance, and empowerment for all children and their families. We’re creating it.

Kindred is an uplifting, supportive, and educational space for families with children with a developmental delay or disability and who are neurodivergent. It’s a community made by families, for families.

And as families of children with disability, we’ve felt all the emotions you’re feeling now. So whether you’re just starting out on your journey, or you’re at a point of transition in your child’s life, know that we get it. And we’ve got you.
