This is really cool! TACT is giving individuals with Autism a chance to learn a trade, and succeed!

A new study shows the number of children and adults diagnosed with autism has increased by 175% over a decade. That’s just…astonishing. There’s a lot of disa...

It is with a heavy heart to inform you that I am leaving Anchor of Hope as Executive Director. I will stay on to help the transition at least through January. As God leads me on a new path, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude and appreciation to Anchor of Hope, our supporters, our volunteers, our families, and our community for allowing me to serve as Executive Director for the last 7 years. The joy and love I have received from this role will stay in my heart forever! I ask that you pray for Anchor of Hope as they begin a new chapter, and continue to provide them with support, prayers, and blessings. If your contact for AOH is carrie@anchorofhopefoundation.com, please update to aohfoundation@gmail.com

With all my love,

Carrie Owen

We are so excited to share that Aspiring Abilities will be returning in January! 💛

Mrs. Alayna is back at Legacy and we are so thrilled! Read more about this amazing class below...

This dance class is a great way for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to get involved in an extracurricular activity while improving fine motor skills, confidence, and giving them the opportunity to socialize. Dance can also help students gain balance between the two halves of the body, allow them to express emotion and gain muscle control. Also, in dance, they interact socially through parallel interaction, which can be less overwhelming on sensitive nervous systems. Through the use of simple patterns, sequencing, and repetition, students will learn the basics of movement, rhythm, the basic fundamentals of jazz & hip-hop, as well as reinforcing and practicing basic academic skills (letters, numbers, shapes, etc).

Registration is now OPEN! Register through the link below!
