Curious About Who We Are and What We are About?
Our Mission
At IMEducation, we are on a mission to empower parents with the knowledge, empathy, and skills to support
their developmentally diverse and complex students.
We believe that every student deserves the opportunity to learn and thrive in an inclusive space, and we are determined to provide the necessary services and support to make that a reality at home and school.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a world where all children, regardless of their neurodivergent traits or developmental journey, can access the resources and support they need to thrive with resilience.
Our Values
-
Inclusion means everyone belongs, feels welcomed and valued, and that no one is excluded from the community.
-
Diversity celebrates all the ways we differ and embraces the uniqueness of each individual.
-
Equity means everyone can have the opportunity to live out their purpose. Everyone is treated with the dignity they deserve.
-
Access means every student should have access to quality education without exception.
