I-Thrive Project

Empowering Communication, Independence & Inclusion Through Assistive Technology

Because Thriving Shouldn’t Depend on Access

The I-Thrive Project ensures that every child and individual with a disability can thrive — not just survive — by gaining access to the assistive technologies that unlock independence, education, and meaningful participation in life.
At Uplyft, we believe technology is more than equipment; it is a bridge to connection, dignity, and growth. I-Thrive funds adaptive tools and devices that empower children and adults to communicate, learn, and live more fully.

From Tools to Transformation

I-Thrive provides funding and guidance to help families access the right assistive technology based on individual needs.
From speech-generating devices and mobility aids to adaptive clothing and learning supports, we ensure every item is purposeful and practical.
We also offer training for families and educators on how to use these tools effectively, ensuring technology translates into daily progress — not frustration.

Who We Serve

I-Thrive serves children and adults with autism, developmental delays, or physical impairments who need assistive or adaptive devices but face financial, cultural, or systemic barriers.
Many of our participants are from immigrant, multilingual, or low-income households, where advocacy can feel overwhelming.
By pairing funding with education and empathy, we make technology not only available — but usable.

Who Benefits

I-Thrive serves children and adults with autism, developmental, or physical disabilities whose financial or systemic barriers keep them from accessing assistive technology.

How the Journey Unfolds

Families or professionals submit a request for assistive-tech support.

Our team evaluates needs and matches them with the right tools and vendors.

We cover partial or full funding for approved items.

Uplyft provides follow-up support to ensure devices are installed, maintained, and making a difference.

Each step is hands-on, personal, and centered on long-term success.

Why It Matters

Communication is a human right. Independence is a necessity.
For many individuals with disabilities, a single device can mean the difference between silence and expression, dependence and freedom.


I-Thrive removes financial and logistical obstacles so that people of all abilities can access the tools they need to learn, connect, and flourish.

Be Part of the Change

Join us in building a future where innovation meets inclusion.
You can apply for assistance, refer a family, sponsor a device, or donate gently used equipment.
Together, we’ll make thriving the standard, not the exception. Every contribution helps another person not just speak — but truly thrive.

We connect communities, build capacity, and create sustainable opportunities that uplift lives and shape a better future.
