ABOUT US
From Advocate to Activist
At 3.14 Academy, our name reflects both precision and purpose. Inspired by the mathematical constant pi, symbolizing infinite possibilities, and Exodus 3:14, which declares “I Am Who I Am,” we are driven by the belief that every neurodivergent individual deserves to live a life of limitless potential and self-defined identity. What sets us apart is our holistic approach to education and advocacy. We empower families, educators, and law enforcement with actionable tools, fostering genuine understanding and collaboration.
​
Through innovative courses, evidence-based strategies, and heartfelt community engagement, 3.14 Academy stands as a beacon of change. Your support fuels not only transformative learning but also advocacy that shapes inclusive policies, ensuring neurodivergent individuals can thrive in every facet of life. By partnering with us, you join a movement that sees beyond challenges to the incredible strengths and contributions of the neurodivergent community. Together, we can create a world where every voice is valued and every potential realized.
