The Abilities In Me
Foundation
We are a registered charity, who writes stories based on real families and the child’s condition. All our profits get put back into the production of making more books, donating books to hospital settings, giving supporting charities recognition, providing equipment to families and schools. Our goal is to eventually set up ‘The Abilities project’, in the hope we can help to create safe and inclusive spaces in mainstream environments and provide them with sensory room equipment to help support all children’s needs.
Our books are voluntarily written by Gemma Keir and are now being illustrated by Yevheniia Lisovaya.
The Abilities in Me Foundation aims to raise awareness of special educational needs and conditions that children may encounter. We have an ever-growing book series written for young people that celebrates what these children can do, rather than what they cannot do. The Foundation also provides community support through forums and special events and works with schools to deliver educational workshops.
At the Abilities in Me, we want all children, regardless of their barriers to feel accepted and understood. The books are inspired by real children and their experiences and they enable parents and teachers to talk about different needs and conditions with their children in a fun, safe and engaging way.
Our book series has had such a positive impact on children around the world and we will continue to widen our range and encourage further research and funding into different conditions. The Abilities in Me Foundation aims to raise funds to support worthy causes and by bringing awareness into schools, we hope that this will encourage kindness and reduce bullying.
