Children have an enormous capacity to learn. Please help ensure our children have the opportunity to grow and reach their full potential in life.
Your gift makes a difference.
Through the collaboration of experts from the fields of child development, medicine, psychology, neuroscience and education, the Children’s Learning Institute is working to ensure every child is equipped to learn and able to excel.
The implementation of our research sets us apart. And the results?
- It’s a hug from a high school senior who learned special techniques to manage his dyslexia and achieve his dream of going to college.
- It’s the pride on a mother’s face when she is able to recognize and respond to her baby’s signals.
- It’s analyzing brain scans, so we can one day help parents make the difficult decision about in utero surgery to repair spinal lesions.
- It’s giving teachers the tools and support they need to put their student on the path to academic success.
At the Children’s Learning Institute, our research, school-and home-based programs and clinical services are creating a brighter future – one child, one family, one teacher and one community at a time.
Every year, philanthropic income impacts the Children’s Learning Institute, helping us to continue to be leaders in research, education and patient care. Here are some ways you can help us achieve our mission.
