Disability
At Open Doors for Multicultural Families (ODMF), we believe in the transformative power of possibility. Our work focuses not only on supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) but also on uplifting their families. By providing culturally responsive tools and resources, we create pathways for families to overcome barriers, achieve their goals, and realize their full potential.
We understand that when families are equipped with the right support, the opportunities for growth, independence, and success are boundless. Our programs are built around fostering connections, cultivating resilience, and instilling confidence, ensuring that both individuals and families thrive together.
Testimony from the
Open Doors Community
I’m truly grateful to be a part of the Open Doors community. They have supported me in many meaningful ways, including helping me prepare for my son’s IEP meetings, providing the resources I requested, and inviting me to participate in the Open Doors for Multicultural Families (ODMF) Parent Support Group (PSG) and Community Café events. Their support has made a real difference in my journey as a parent

“They said I wouldn’t make it. But I did.” For most of my life, I was underestimated. Teachers told me I’d never succeed, never go to college. With the support of programs like Kickstart, P2G, and the Lead Collective, I found my purpose and my people. They didn’t just see potential in me, they helped me see it in myself.
Today, I’m a high school graduate, enrolled at Highline College, and working toward my dream of transferring to the University of Washington. I’m proud of how far I’ve come and I know this is only the beginning.
