We are a 501c3 nonprofit that was incorporated in November 2019 and aim to be "The Future of Autism Education and Job Training". The statistics for employment for Autistic Individuals are dire, 90 % are either unemployed or underemployed and 50% of 25-year-olds have never held a paying job. We aim to be much more than the next brick and mortar school for Autistic individuals but an entire whole-person holistic solution for the Autistic Community and their families. The solution begins with a strong and thorough education that includes hands-on experiential learning and problem-solving skills that are not currently being taught to the Autistic population as well as an intensive therapeutic student-centered, individualized program that incorporates both strength-based career pathways and intensive targeted therapeutic interventions that delves deep into each area of deficit to determine the exact methodology needed to overcome these challenges. Interwoven into our students day will be programs for self-expression and creativity, self-care, self-regulation, and self-advocacy to empower and support them for a lifetime.
