Numotion Foundation Supports Disability Rights Ohio

Every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and access the education that supports their full potential, including students with disabilities. Yet, for many families navigating the special education system, knowing what supports are available and how to secure them can feel overwhelming. Disability Rights Ohio (DRO) is changing that narrative.

Empowering Families, Strengthening Futures Through Advocacy

As Ohio’s protection and advocacy agency, DRO supports families statewide by helping them understand their children’s educational rights. Their dedicated Special Education Advocate assists more than 400 families every year by answering questions, reviewing educational records, and offering individualized guidance so children with disabilities can receive a meaningful education.

Thanks to funding from the Numotion Foundation, DRO’s advocate can continue providing this critical support to families who often struggle to find assistance in the complex special education process. Lyndsey Brown, Development Director of Disability Rights Ohio explained that, “This funding means that parents feel supported and children receive the educational services they need to get a meaningful education.”

With improved advocacy, families gain confidence. Students gain access to services they need. And the future becomes a little brighter, one child at a time. Together, we’re helping ensure that every learner has the opportunity to succeed.
