Our Story
Where it Began:
iCan Fly is a parent-led organization dedicated to supporting children with special needs. Founded and operated by parents, including mothers of children with special needs. we create inclusive, hands-on programs that encourage creativity, social connection, and confidence in a safe and supportive environment.
Our programs are supported by middle and high school student volunteers from various schools. Through this peer-based volunteer system, children can learn alongside one another. Guided by love, understanding, and shared humanity, we believe these connections are where growth, purpose, and lasting impact begin.
Building a Community:
Our Vision:
Our members come from all walks of life: MBAs with medical backgrounds; Successful business people; Former finance professional, who chose to put aside her careers in order to devote full attention to raising her special-needs child.
Between our founders, our members, and our generous volunteers, we are a community that share a common goal and belief that we can support families to get more help and help them grow up with their children.
Our goal is to create a transparent and fair platform for parents of children with special needs to find the most effective ways and resources to help their children grow up. At the same time, we also hope to provide special needs children with the opportunity to integrate with neurotypical children, and to promote an understanding and supportive community especially for Asian children.
We believe that through our efforts, these children and their families can receive more professional support and resources, to have more opportunities to communicate and integrate with other families and children.
