A Success Story
Meet Kierra A. Edwards, the Founder of The Unique Families’ Journey Foundation. She went through tough times in school because of her Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). When she became a mom, she saw her daughter struggling with the same things. Kierra knew school could be hard for kids with ADHD, so she wanted her daughter to get the right help.
Kierra didn’t give up. She talked to experts who knew how to help kids like her daughter. She worked hard to make sure her daughter got the support she needed at school, like a special plan called an IEP. With Kierra’s help, her daughter started improving and feeling happier in school.
Now, we want to help families like yours, too. You can join our online support group and become one of our success stories. Let’s work together to make sure your child gets the community support they need to thrive in school.
