Our foundation is anchored in our love for and faith in Jesus, driving compassionate action and acceptance of those with different abilities. We care for the vulnerable because we believe that everyone bears the image of God, has been set apart in creation, and has infinite value because they are loved and valued by the creator of the universe. We aim to serve by infusing the love of God into every endeavor, but a religious profession of faith is not required for individuals to receive our services.

We have served or are currently serving families with special needs across the United States through therapy partners and community connections in Florida, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas. Our hope is that as the organization grows, we can establish new partnerships and connections throughout the states to further our reach to the special needs community. If you would like to nominate a family to receive support services or are interested in becoming a therapy partner, please click here to contact us.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by differences in communication, behavior, and sensory processing. The term “spectrum” is used because of the range of symptoms, and the severity of the symptoms which can vary widely from person to person. Common characteristics of ASD include but are not limited to:

• Difficulty with social interactions and communication (e.g., challenges in understanding social cues, maintaining conversations, or forming relationships).

• Repetitive behaviors and restricted interests (e.g., engaging in repetitive movements, intense focus on specific topics, or a need for routine).

• Sensory sensitivities (e.g., being overly sensitive or under-responsive to sounds, lights, textures, or other sensory inputs).

ASD is typically diagnosed in early childhood, though signs may be recognized at different ages. Early diagnosis and intervention can significantly improve outcomes for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

An AAC device, or Augmentative and Alternative Communication device, is an assistive technology tool used by individuals who have severe expressive communication disorders. An individual can use an AAC device to supplement existing speech (augmentative) or compensate for speech that is absent (alternative). The overall goal of AAC devices is to empower individuals to express their needs, wants, thoughts, and ideas; fostering independence and participation in their communities. A certified Speech Language Pathologist guides an individual and their family through the process of obtaining an AAC device based on the individual’s needs.

We partner with local clinics to provide therapy scholarships for physical, occupational, and speech therapies, as well as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
