Understanding is the Beginning
Pathways to Supporting Your Child’s Developmental, Social, and Learning Differences
A Vision
All children are exceptional and deserve the greatest chance to grow up happy, healthy, and strong. Urban Exceptional is dedicated to informing NYC parents and caregivers about diverse ways to understand and approach developmental, social, and learning differences, so that all young children can thrive.
A Belief
Finding the right path to understanding and meeting your child’s needs should be easier to identify and navigate in NYC. Urban Exceptional provides parents with essential information not always found in traditional resources, so that you can make informed decisions for your child and family.
A Community
We are a platform for families living in and around NYC seeking a supportive space to connect, learn, and share experiences as well as find resources related to early developmental, social, and learning differences. Being informed helps us all make optimal decisions for our children.
Welcome to Urban Exceptional! Our organization was founded by families whose children have experienced early developmental delays, social challenges, and learning differences. Our purpose is to create a space for NYC parents to discover approaches and share practices that best support our children’s needs. If you are finding that your child may have developmental, social, or learning differences, check our resources.
Our Mission
Urban Exceptional is an independent, not-for-profit organization dedicated to fostering a supportive, open, and connected environment where NYC families of young children experiencing developmental, social, or learning issues can easily access information and resources. We help families feel empowered to make informed choices in supporting their child’s healthy growth and development.
