As we wrap up our team’s "Week of Understanding," we’re reviewing our progress against our mission to: 1. Raise awareness of learning and thinking differences (we call these LTDs). 2. Reduce the stigma associated with asking for accommodations that help people with LTDs. 3. Provide even more tools and resources to help people with LTDs thrive. 4. Measure the impact we have in the lives of people with LTDs and their families. If you’re as energized as we are by what’s ahead and the impact we are making, you can be part of it. Consider becoming a partner in our mission at the link below or joining our team. Who knows, maybe we’ll be welcoming you to our next "Week of Understanding"! https://lnkd.in/ejf6mNph

On day one of our "Week of Understanding," we heard from caregivers and people with learning and thinking differences. On day two, we put that information into action. Our research team shared additional insights into the impact of the Understood.org portfolio of resources. Today, 100% of parents report feeling better after using our resources. That’s validating, but we aspire to expand the number of people who are accessing our solutions so that “100 million people with thinking and learning differences, like ADHD and dyslexia, can thrive.” By using the research team’s insights our teams workshopped ways we can expand our audience to reach our mission. From helping pediatricians to teachers to parents, our teams used outside-the-box thinking to bring our mission to life.

We’ve learned a lot in just the first day of the “Week of Understanding” here at Understood.org. Eleni Matheou, one of our research experts, hosted a panel of women with ADHD who are parents to kids with ADHD. We call these the “Double ADHD parents.” “Sometimes it feels like I give my best to everyone and work. When I get home, I may not always have the patience or energy to be the mom I want to be for my kids.” - Panelist and “Double ADHD parent” Every year, our research team has hundreds of these kinds of conversations to help our teams create tools and resources like the podcast linked below that help parents and kids with ADHD thrive at work, school and home! https://lnkd.in/gbFvv6sg

A recent LinkedIn study showed that employees who receive regular learning opportunities are 47% more likely to be high performers. So, twice a year, we gather the entire Understood.org team for our "Week of Understanding." Over four days, we hear from people with learning and thinking differences and industry experts. We review our strategy and workshop better ways to deliver on our mission. Follow us throughout our "Week of Understanding" to learn alongside us!

Earlier this summer, members of our Understood.org team participated in an event with the Educating All Learners Alliance and New America. Together, we developed a policy paper to inform and guide policymakers at all levels — from local school boards to national education departments — who are responsible for shaping education policy in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). While the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in education is not a new concept, the recent widespread awareness and emerging use cases of generative AI have sparked significant interest in AI's potential to support students with disabilities.
