Mission Statement
To provide a supportive community and comprehensive resources for individuals with autism and their families, promoting growth, acceptance, and inclusion.
At A.W.E.mazing we are in the developing stage of creating an Autism Early childcare program birth to 5 and an elementary after school autism gym program where the curriculum is based on STEAM and Robotics. Our program will be the only afterschool specifically for children diagnosed with autism or display signs of this disorder. We will offer weekday services for elementary students who has been expelled due to their behavior as itrelates to their disability. Our Program can provide invaluable resources and support for individuals with autism and their families. We are a vibrant and inclusive community dedicated to empowering individuals with autism and their families.
that it is essential to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where individuals with autism can thrive, grow, and reach their full potential. Every individual with autism is unique, with their own strengths, interests, and abilities. Our team of experienced professionals is committed to understanding and supporting each person's journey, fostering a sense of belonging and acceptance.
There are currently approximately two Autism Early Childhood Centers in Georgia in which there is a 1 to 5 year waitlist depending on the age group. In the City of Decatur, Jonesboro, Henry County there are no afterschool program specifically for children with autism disorder. Within the educational system of Early Childhood education children diagnosed or display signs of autism are displaced out of childcare and afterschool programs because there are no support services or staff training for sustainability. At A.W.E.mazing Enrichment Center we will play an intricate part in helping to resolve this crisis by creating an afterschool program for children with autism and those other learning disabilities. We have defined the solution for both parents and their children to be a part of an organization that is Autism proof. Parents struggles with day to day decision of should I quit my job and pull my child out of an educational program or just drive for uber so that I can pick up my child whenever the school calls me to pick them up because they have not been trained We have developed this program due to the high rise of children not being able to attend a childcare center or afterschool program due to their disability
