Your data is NEVER shared. Ever.
There's no reason for some of our most exceptional kids to be left out of history.
Traditional record-keeping does not account for our atypical kids. It simply can't -- genealogy platforms and traditional forms of history rely on collecting data from the institutions that track: graduations, marriages, having children, and home ownership. That means that some of our most exceptional family members will not show up in genealogical data. 


We can do it ourselves, and you are in the right place to get started.

Remember

Each developmental success, whether it is an "inchstone" or milestone. Each victory.

Celebrate

The fun, funny, and joyful person your child has become.

Save

The details of the communities that held space for your kid and your family.

Take the first step and get your printable to show & share.

When you sign up here, you will receive a series of prompts to walk you through the first step of marking your child's legacy -- capturing the full story of an achievement.

Submit your answers, and you will be emailed a single-page memento to that captures the whole story! Print it and hang it on the refrigerator, send it in a thank you card to a support person, email it to your mom... you have options a-plenty!

About me...

I am an archivist and historian with two kids.

This work is important to me because as an archivist I
know who brings their stories to the archives: the folks that have already hit those traditional markers of success.

And as a mom I have empty baby books. Their emphasis on typical milestones that my kid didn’t reach, or didn’t reach in the spot where the baby book put them, made them hard to fill and more depressing than victorious.

As a mom I also know that when there is a discussion of special needs, neuroatypical, medical, or disabled kids, there is a mom behind that warriorchild. Special moms have curtailed their career aspirations, or quit altogether, to support their kids. Often we cannot tell the history of our kids without telling part of our own history -- and they may weave together and come apart in different ways over the years.


  My work is a response to that.
