Resources

Learning, mental health, disability rights and community resources for disabled and neurodivergent people, families, educators and community builders.

Finding support should not mean figuring everything out alone. Start with what you need, then explore the organizations and programs below.

The first section reflects RILEY’s working relationships and wider community connections, including advisory and shared outreach work. Other sections offer independent resources. These are not all formal institutional or Summit partnerships. A listing is not an endorsement of every service or a guarantee of access. Check eligibility, availability and costs directly with each provider.
