WINGS for Learning

Today, we are seeking your help in funding nearly 500 hours of free and subsidized services. Your donation, no matter the size, will help us increase access to high quality and neuroaffirming dyslexia intervention and social support to the Houston community. Thank you for joining us in our vision!

Our educators have experience working with a wide range of students, which means we are familiar with communication tools such as an AAC. We meet our students where they are and co-create strategies for them to feel confident.

It was a beautiful day at Bitty and Beau’s Coffee in Rice Village. Family and friends gathered to celebrate each employee. @bittyandbeauscoffee Houston’s Grand opening is next Saturday, January 14th! “Bitty and Beau’s was founded by the Wright family in honor of their two children Bitty and Beau, who have Down Syndrome. With over 80% of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities unemployed nationwide, Bitty and Beau’s Coffee creates a path for people with disabilities to become more values, accepted and included in every community.”

This weekend, Roots & Shoots in Houston Boots had our second full-day retreat, this time in to Galveston!

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 After volunteering, members headed to Historic Powhattan House to learn about Galveston’s history, explore and amazing array of antiques and curiosities, and spend time connecting with one another!
