Listen to Sam share what he wishes parents of neurodiverse students knew, and how that has made him a better parent himself.

We feel lucky to have Sam’s steady care for our Spark students for almost 6 years now! 🌟

Meet Elicia, a recreation-therapist-turned-program-director, with nearly 12 years at Heritage! When you meet Elicia, her energy is infectious - fun and upbeat, which transfers to not only our students but also our Coaches and Caregivers.

Elicia takes her role as ‘party planner with a purpose’ seriously and that joys is reflected throughout Spark Academy. 🌟

It’s currently summer break, so the classrooms are empty and the campus looking a little lonely. Spark school happens in 12-week quarters, with 2 weeks off in between. We wish our students on their practice home visits a wonderful school break!

Do you know this cat’s name?

The 7 barn cats roam campus freely (some more than others) and, it seems, occasionally get lost. Always to be recovered.😉

Cats belong OUTSIDE on our campus… So imagine our surprise to walk through the empty Summit home and find Sylvie watching over her kingdom 😂. Just a little peek into how it’s never a dull day at Spark!

Reading, reading, and more reading… Believe it or not this is not an official Spark library, but the books of a single student! It’s fun to see what our kids are drawn to – and this bookshelf is a great representation of what we see in dorms across campus. 📚
