One in six children between the ages of three to 17 has a disability. Receiving this diagnosis, whether at birth or later in life, can be scary and overwhelming. Iris Mehler launched 1in6 Michigan Support, a support group for parents and caregivers of children with disabilities after this statistic impacted her life specifically. Today, the nonprofit organization continues to provide support, resources, and advocacy for the community.
