The number is astounding — 1 in 6 children lives with a disability.. For Alma Schneider and Iris Mehler this is an all too familiar reality as both know first-hand the challenges that come from having a child with atypical needs, as well as the joy that also brings.
1in6Support’s mission focuses on three areas: empowering and uplifting families of children with disabilities by providing emotional and practical support; encouraging communities to recognize and foster accommodations for these children; and collaborating with organizations and companies dedicated to creating a more accessible and inclusive world. Their in-person and online support gatherings are a vital part of the many services they provide to families who often feel alone in this journey.
