OUR TEAM
Aim to Embrace was started by three motivated and dedicated high school students who hoped to eliminate the negative stigma surrounding students with cognitive disabilities. We experienced firsthand the negative stigma behind these students at our high school and even heard the term Special Education used in a negative connotation. Aim to embrace was started in order to change this.
