REEL supports 2e kids in Silicon Valley by building bridges between their educators and their parents.
About us
Our vision is that twice-exceptional children in Silicon Valley are fully recognized, appreciated, encouraged, and empowered by everyone involved in our community’s education ecosystem. They are well-supported in learning to use their immense strengths and unique lived experiences to lead flourishing, productive, and meaningful lives. For educators: We raise awareness and understanding of 2e kids and provide resources to make school a place that 2e learners can be successful. For parents: We disseminate and create 2e resources, both online and in person, to help parents advocate for and support their 2e kids at school.

REEL was amazed and honored to receive $3,000 from Yaniv and his school community and his Bar Mitzvah! We are so touched and inspired by Yaniv’s dedication to REEL. His support has fueled our team in our mission, not only financially, but also emotionally. Knowing we are having an impact on families and that the impact is seen by local youth whose lives are touched by neurodivergence propels us in our mission to support 2e students all the more. Thank you, Yaniv! Join Yaniv in supporting REEL this month and double your impact with our $20K match!
