Why Fit In When You Were Born to Stand Out?
On this, the 3rd anniversary of the founding of One Child, I’m happy to report that One Child has experienced another year of unprecedented growth! Three years ago, One Child was founded with understanding that every child with Autism is unique and should be celebrated. Some days, it seems unreal to that think that One Child launched our first social skills group in the Fall of 2013 with 5 kids and now this summer One Child is providing services to over 50 kids!
Over the past year, One Child has:
- Launched an Art Therapy program,
- Expanded our social skill groups to include Middle Schoolers,
- Increased our KIDS’ Night program to accommodate 70 participants a night,
- Provided Scholarships totaling over $9,000,
- Received our 1st Grant, and
- Moved into an office space of our own
I am thankful daily for the families that we serve, the staff that help our children, and the Williamsburg community that has so graciously embraced One Child. Together we are building a supportive community for autistic children and their families! I eagerly look forward to see how One Child can continue to serve our community.
