Your 2023 holiday gift guide is here — made by & for people with disabilities!

We at Undivided are embracing the essence of November and prepping for Thanksgiving. While the aroma of pies fills the air, there’s something even more delightful brewing — our rockin’ annual holiday gift guide!

Every year, as autumn arrives, our research department compiles a list of beautiful and delectable treasures from all over the country that are either created by makers with disabilities or benefit organizations that help people with disabilities.

These discoveries not only celebrate but also uplift and contribute to supporting the greater disability community and the artists within it. Get ready for your holiday parties with these adaptive beauty tools, practice some self-care with this super cute inclusive coloring book (not just for kids!), or munch on some Popcorn for the People while watching It’s a Wonderful Life on repeat.

Skip the big-box stores and join us in intentional gift-giving as we unwrap the magic of thoughtful surprises and unveil handpicked wonders for your nearest and dearest — and support creators who give back to their communities to boot! From delicious treats to fine art, we have you covered!

One Undivided member tells their Navigator, “Thank you so much for all your help! Couldn’t have done it without you. I never would have known to ask for an FBA. Thank you for all of your advice, for introducing me to this amazing app, for letting me know about FASTT, and all of your support!”


Interested in working with an early childhood support coach for FREE behavioral support via text? The Family Advice and Support Text and Telephone (FASTT) team is partnering with Undivided to give you guidance that fits into your busy schedule (and your purse!). If you have a child age 10 and under in California, fill out this form to get more information. Undivided and FASTT have received a grant, in partnership with the University of Oregon, to offer this great service for free for a limited time.


IHSS Under Age 18
Don’t miss our live event on November 30, all about IHSS! If your child qualifies for In-Home Supportive Services, how do you know whether you’re making the most of those services? Undivided Public Benefits Specialist Lisa Concoff Kronbeck will bring her expert insight to help us get a handle on all things IHSS, so bring all your questions and more. Register for the event here!
