About Us

Ryder’s Room, was created in 2017 by multi-platinum Grammy-award winning R&B artist Faith Evans to help provide the highest level of resources for children and adults living with autism and different abilities, as well as for professionals in the field.

Many families, especially in underserved communities, lack access to the resources, knowledge, and advocacy support necessary to access essential educational, medical, and social services. By promoting awareness and inclusion, we work toward creating a world where every person with disabilities is valued and has access to the resources they need to live a happy and meaningful life.

Ryder’s Room bridges these gaps by offering culturally responsive workshops, advocacy training, and referral services tailored to the unique needs of families. Funds raised will directly support educational workshops, advocacy training, community outreach, and referral services that equip families with the tools and knowledge they need to advocate for their loved ones effectively.

We are committed to ensuring that these services are available to every family, regardless of their zip code or geographical location.
