Undivided: Supporting Parents Raising Kids with Disabilities

09/08/2026

Service dogs do incredible work, and so do the families who advocate to get them.

This National Service Dog Month, we're celebrating all the four-legged helpers and the kids and parents who love them. 🐕❤️

Keeping track of every provider, service, document, and contact for your child is a full-time job — and the overwhelm is real. We're here to help you organize everything in one place, so the next time someone asks for a document or phone number, you've got it. No more frantic searching.

Drop a ❤️ if you've ever felt this way.

Quote graphic featuring a testimonial from Tosha, an Undivided parent, overlaid on a photo of a woman walking outdoors with two young children. The quote reads: "Before Undivided, I was very disorganized. My child has lots of different providers, services, and entities she works with — you should have seen my file cabinet, with papers thrown everywhere. Whenever I got a call asking for a number or service information, I'd be frantic trying to figure out where to look. With Undivided, you can upload all of your documents, title them, organize them, and always have access to them. Lifesaver." Published by Undivided.

This isn’t a class, and it isn’t group therapy. It’s just a space to connect with other parents who understand this journey. Together, we’ll celebrate wins (big and small), navigate challenges, share what’s working, talk through what’s hard, and remind one another that none of us has to carry this alone.

💚 P.S. There is no pressure to share — whether you come to listen, connect, or contribute, you are welcome.

Image 1: A photo of a smiling young child with blonde hair, wearing a whale-print shirt, sitting on wooden bleachers outdoors. Overlaid text reads "Parenting a child with additional needs can be incredibly rewarding yet incredibly isolating. It's hard to find others who truly understand the emotional roller coaster, the advocacy, the appointments, the victories that feel enormous, and the exhaustion that often goes unseen." The Undivided logo appears in the top left corner, with a forward arrow icon in the bottom right indicating more slides.

📱 For students with disabilities, a phone isn't a distraction. It can be a communication device, a regulation tool, or a medical necessity. As cell phone bans spread across the country, parents of kids with IEPs and 504 plans need to know their rights.

As the new school year begins, it’s worth a few minutes to learn what actually separates an accommodation from a modification, how to know which ones are the RIGHT ones for your kiddo, and how to make sure teachers are actually implementing them. Plus: an accommodation debate everyone’s having right now — cellphones in special education. Check it out in this week’s newsletter:

Some parents say the single biggest thing that's helped them this year isn't a document or a tool, it's having a Navigator to actually talk to.

A Navigator is your dedicated expert at Undivided, someone who has been where you are, and is there to help you prioritize goals (even the ones you hadn't thought of yet) and answer the "what do I do now" questions in real time.

On the right, a testimonial quote from Lelah, an Undivided parent, describes how meeting with a navigator has helped her prioritize goals and navigate transitions for her son, calling it "the best thing ever" and encouraging others to try Undivided. The Undivided logo appears in the bottom left corner, with a blue banner along the bottom edge.

🚨UPDATE🚨 The federal government is now asking a court to gut the rules that protect the right of people with disabilities to receive services in their homes and communities rather than in institutions.

Here's what families need to know right now:
✅ Olmstead has not been overturned
✅ The ADA has not changed
✅ Section 504 has not disappeared
✅ A judge has not yet approved this

The biggest thing to understand is this: disability rights aren't always changed by new laws. Sometimes they're changed by how aggressively the government chooses to defend the ones we already have.

You fought for every accommodation, every service, every word in your child's IEP. But does their teacher know what's in it? 👀

After reviewing thousands of IEPs, we keep seeing the same issues: vague goals, undocumented services, and accommodations that aren't really listed.

Join Undivided CEO Seth Besse on September 17th at 12 pm PST for a live walkthrough of our IEP Assistant. Bring your IEP and follow along in real time. 💪

First time with Undivided? All new members who attend get one month free!
