Hi there,

As we enter this season of reflection and celebration, I want to take a moment to share my heartfelt gratitude for all we have accomplished together. This time of year always invites us to pause and take stock of where we’ve been, how far we’ve come, and where we are headed—and I am filled with pride as I think about the incredible strength of this community.

Empowering Communication at ALL Academy

Playtime just got a whole lot more exciting at Aspire Living & Learning Academy! Thanks to a newly installed alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) board, students can now easily share how they feel, ask to play tag, or share a funny moment with friends—all by pointing to symbols and images. It’s more than just a tool; it’s a game-changer that blends technology with real, meaningful connections.

The Power of Meaningful Community Activities

Every moment—big or small—helps shape who we are. That’s why Aspire’s day programs are designed to help you discover what brings you joy and excitement. Through personalized activities and meaningful community outings, you'll find ways meaningful to you to connect with others, try new things, and engage with your community.
