Be part of the movement to Empower Neurodiversity! Help The CJ Riders Foundation fundraise for their campaign: Empowering Neurodiversity which will fund our 2 programs: Healing Hands and Mind Master Programs

1. Healing Hands Program – Breaking Barriers to Essential Care

The Problem:
Children with special needs in low-income families often wait over two years for psychological assessments in the public system, delaying critical diagnoses for autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other neurodiversities. Without a diagnosis, they cannot access the therapies and support they desperately need. Private assessments and therapies are prohibitively expensive, leaving many families without options.

Our Solution:
The Healing Hands Program ensures that children receive timely, professional support by funding:
✅ Psychoeducational Assessments – Providing formal diagnoses so children can access proper care and accommodations.
✅ Essential Therapies – Covering costs for speech therapy, psychology, occupational therapy, and other interventions tailored to each child’s needs.
✅ Immediate Access to Care – Eliminating financial barriers so children can receive support when they need it most.

Every moment a child waits for help is a moment lost in their development. Healing Hands gives families the resources they need to help their children communicate, grow, and thrive—because no child’s future should depend on their family’s income.

2. Mind Mastery Program – Unlocking Potential for neurodiverse children in low-income families through Personalized Education

The Problem:
Public schools are overwhelmed and underfunded, leaving neurodiverse students without the proper resources to thrive. Many families cannot afford private tutoring, resulting in children falling behind, losing confidence, and feeling isolated in their education.
The Solution: The Mind Mastery Program by CJ Riders Foundation is designed to fund personalized tutoring and educational support for neurodiverse children who struggle in traditional learning environments. Many children with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other learning differences face unique challenges in school, often lacking the specialized instruction they need to succeed.

EEF’s Shoe Shopping Parties provide students in need with brand-new shoes, ensuring they have the comfort and confidence to walk into school ready to learn. During these special events, students get to pick out their own properly fitted shoes—often their first brand-new pair—while volunteers assist and cheer them on. Each shopping trip is a joyful experience that goes beyond footwear, reminding students that their community supports and believes in them.
What to Expect:
- Students will line up to have their sizes checked. You will be paired with 1-2 students at a time. Please assist each student in finding a pair of closed-toe shoes. Regular-priced or clearance shoes are acceptable.
- When student(s) have their new shoes, please assist them to the front register for them to checkout.
- After checking out, please walk students back to the waiting area for them to select their socks. Once they have their socks, students can color and play games while they wait for the rest of their group.
- You may remain with the student or assist with other students if needed.
