Our organization was founded in March of 2009 to assist those with Autism and other special needs, as well as their families, both emotionally and financially. Since then, our grass roots organization has helped over 100 families and that number is rapidly growing. We firmly believe to become successful, children with special needs learn and grow more with experience. For this reason we strive to find real world situations and opportunities for them to take part in that will lead to strong foundations for a successful life. We now have three major programs to turn these dreams into reality. The X-CEL PROGRAM, an alternative to homeschool and a educational enrichment program, focuses on school age participants. This program focuses on functional academies, social skills, coping, team work and so much more. THRIVE, our Friday night out program, provides emotional support for families by bringing them together in a safe environment where their participants interact and can be accepted. A Parent Support Group is a vital part of what we do because it allows parents to share, life, cry and refuel until next time. REACH is the program that fills the gap for those adults who have aged out school. The Center not only provides a much needed respite for the families but a chance for these adults to test and expand their boundaries, to be a part of the world around them
