Do you know someone who shows up for neurodivergent kids and families in a real, meaningful way?

What a beautiful way to kick off NEURture Project 2026 💙

On January 30, we held our first NEURture Project event of the year at Brighton Center , and we couldn’t be more grateful. Huge thank you to Brighton Center and their incredible therapists who show up every day to advocate for families and support young children with such care and expertise.

This partnership means the world to us—and it was the perfect way to start the year. Here’s to more connection, collaboration, and community ahead.
