In 2016, families with autistic children and loved ones were struggling as support for life enhancing therapy services were dwindling leaving the local school districts as the only resource. The project's focus was to aid in providing these services locally therefore lifting a stress from those families. 608-822-3015
The first phase of the plan offered an Autism Consultant service from Achieving Collaborative Treatment (ACT) of Verona, Wisconsin. ACT would work through the school district and offer a team of knowledgeable members to fill needs of those families. As ACT established a client base, they looked to lease space and provide therapies such as Sensory OT/PT, Floor time therapy, and other services to enhance those on the spectrum. Such therapies are not commonly offered in rural areas and this was huge step for those families.
Aiming for Acceptance has established The Learning Center building which provides a safe, sensory friendly space for companies to lease and provide services to all special needs individuals. These services will enhance the lives of children, families, organizations, and schools. Contacts are being drafted for Autism therapy services, Sensory OT/PT. Behavioral therapies, including music, art and yoga, will be added in the future. If you are a business interested in leasing space from us, or individuals in search of therapies we encourage you to give us a call at 608-822-3015.
Aiming for Acceptance is accepting donations of supplies, money, and volunteers. All financial contributions are greatly appreciated and truly make a difference in the lives of many. Those benefiting from these services could be your family, friends or neighbor and will strengthen the communities in Southwest Wisconsin. The Aiming for Acceptance Board is thankful for all those who have helped and those who will support us in the future. We strive to make communities in southwest Wisconsin strong, healthy and happy communities.
