Raising awareness Through experiences
Growing Together Through Positive Experiences
Our mission is to provide quality holistic wellness to families, individuals, and children with special needs in an inclusive environment. We provide activities that ensure ALL are ABLE, not just some.
Our organization is about bringing awareness to the dire need of inclusivity in the special needs community. Often, we travel through life and stay close to the things and people we know. How great would life be if we were able to meet more people from other walks of life?! Neurodivergent, Neurotypical, Differently-abled, and Abled children should be able to co exist and learn from each other without judgement. We aim to provide with social skills playdates through charitable donations.
Summer fun with aqua-tots (Douglasville)
Summer fun and safety start here at Urban Indigo in partnership with Aqua-Tots of Douglasville! We are proud to announce that our families will be receiving three months of complimentary swim lessons in honor of water safety and awareness throughout the summer months.
This initiative is especially crucial as drowning is a leading cause of death for children, particularly those with autism. Research indicates that children with autism spectrum disorder are 160 times more likely to experience nonfatal and fatal drowning compared to their neurotypical peers. This increased risk is often due to a combination of factors, including a strong attraction to water and challenges with understanding and responding to danger.
By offering these swim lessons, Urban Indigo and Aqua-Tots of Douglasville aim to equip children and their families with essential water safety skills, helping to reduce the risk of drowning and ensuring a safe and enjoyable summer for everyone. Join us in making a splash towards a safer community!
IEP Advocate Scholarship Fund
Although we would love to have all charitable donations made directly to the foundation, we understand the need for some folks to have what we call and hand to hand exchange. No matter how you choose to donate to The Urban Indigo Foundation, we are always in a place of gratitude. Your generous donations help support at cost program sponsorship, social skills playdates , community activities, supplies for children, and the cost to keep this website secure and up to date!
Partnering with double good allows us to receive 50% of all proceeds without an out of pocket cost to participate.
This is the first fundraiser and we hope you help us make it a memorable one!

Live With Passion & Purpose
To achieve optimal wellness, it's essential to embrace it in every aspect of life. This includes our environment, community, career, belief systems, physical activities, self-care, healthy eating, self-esteem, and creative pursuits. In the context of the special needs community, wellness takes on an even deeper significance. By fostering a wellness approach that is inclusive and supportive, we can ensure that individuals with special needs receive the care and attention they deserve. This holistic approach not only enhances their quality of life but also allows them to reach their full potential and live with passion and purpose. Supporting wellness in the special needs community is a shared responsibility that enriches all of us, creating a more compassionate and thriving society.
