Our Mission

Empowering neurodivergent people to be their biggest, baddest selves. 

We envision a world where neurodiversity in all its forms is celebrated, rather than marginalized; where we acknowledge our differences and work within them to strengthen our connection in community; and where neurodivergent individuals can thrive in all spaces.

Everyone wants to be successful and achieve their dreams, but for the neurodivergent community, those dreams can sometimes feel like an impossible goal to reach.

How can anyone achieve great things when society makes assumptions about their abilities (or lack thereof) simply because they don’t look or act like others? Or because their ability to socialize or communicate may be a little different? We know this can be a frustrating aspect of becoming an independent adult and can often discourage neurodivergent people from pursuing their passions. Dreamzilla aims to provide resources for individuals and families coping with these challenges and uncertainties.

Celebrating Neurodiversity

Neurodiversity is the idea that neurological differences like autism and ADHD are the result of normal, natural variations in the human brain. People experience and interact with the world in many different ways due to these differences and there is no one “right” way of thinking, learning, and behaving. Our mission is to celebrate neurodiversity and help neurodivergent people cultivate their unique talents, pursue their passions, and be their biggest, baddest selves.

Whether a person is autistic, dyslexic, bipolar, has any other condition associated with neurodivergence, or is neurotypical, we believe all individuals possess amazing talents and should be celebrated for their individual achievements.

OUR VALUES

Inclusion

We celebrate all ways that neurodiversity can show up in different spaces.
We recognize that there is no one “right” way of thinking, learning, or behaving. Rather than viewing differences as deficits, we see diversity of thought and different ways of connecting with the world as strengths that should be celebrated.

Empowerment

We recognize that neurodivergent individuals bring a wealth of unique perspectives, talents, and innovative ideas to the community. We support and empower neurodivergent individuals in cultivating their talents and expanding their skill sets so that they can fully contribute to their communities.

Accessibility

We are committed to providing products and services that are accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. Our installations are designed with accessibility in mind, ensuring equal access. The sensory environments are equipped with adjustable light and sound settings to cater to sensory preferences, in addition to being wheelchair accessible, to ensure full participation. We use accessible fonts when available, provide audio recordings and descriptions of static posters or infographics via QR codes, and ensure all digital content includes alternative text.

Innovation

We believe innovation begins with listening- deeply and intentionally- to the diverse needs, strengths, and experiences of neurodivergent individuals. We value experimentation, thoughtful risk-taking, and adaptive thinking, understanding that progress is often nonlinear. By centering neurodivergent voices and fostering a culture of continuous learning, we reimagine what’s possible- together.
