How has all this affected you?  I was speaking to a dad recently who is a contractor. He has a child that just turned 22 and he is having trouble finding services, because there are limited resources after your child is no longer on an IEP. His child has not been given enough skills to live independently; and now, this dad is having trouble working full time because he has to stay home and help his child. He is trying to provide financially, while also trying to help physically in person. This is tough to balance for anyone; and as you can imagine has created a lot of stress for him, and probably his child as well.

How does that make you feel now?  Well, I know I have been frustrated for years; and I bet many of you are as well.  These are our kids.  This is their future.  What happens when we are no longer here to help support them?  Where will they live?  Who will help take care of them? - their finances, their health, and more.  Many people are very worried about how this all works out.  We need more clarity.

We have found a solution!! Well, just like many programs out there, this one will not be for everyone. That said, it will be a fantastic solution for so many.

• Is your son or daughter burned out by traditional academics?
• Is your son or daughter a hands on type of worker or learner?
• Is your son or daughter interested in learning skills in the trades?
• Is your son or daughter interested in landscaping, painting, plastering, handy work?
• Does your son or daughter have a cognitive disability?
• Could your on or daughter benefit from some mind-body techniques to manage stress?
• Is your son or daughter interested in making friends with similar interests?
• Has your son or daughter shown interest in trade schools but could not handle the academics?

​If you answered yes to any of the questions above, this might just be a great program for your child.  We want to bring about joy in education and learning.  We want to bring about joy in finding life purpose…. And why not?  Life is meant to be fun.

When we have a good mix of students, staff and support, then we will achieve great things.

We would love your help on this adventure to see how life purpose becomes a reality when the right tools are provided.  We would love to hear your vision of a future for our kids.  We would love to share and learn from your wisdom.  We all have slightly different journeys, but there is power in bringing our ideas and vision together.  So, I thank you in advance for any help, support, vision and wisdom!!
