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.
