In a few weeks Aidan turns 22. That's a big deal in the world of disability. It means that his services are now provided by the state (rather than the school system). And state services are neither generous nor reliable. It's a battle, and we have no idea what Aidan's days will look like.
But we do know that no matter what happens, he will have Whole Children (and Milestones). This semester he is indulging his love of performing arts – he plays in a rock band (really, the punkest band you've ever heard) and performs in a Broadway theater class. On Saturdays, he has started working in a pre-school class where he gets to share his love of song and dance with a very appreciate crowd J
We feel so lucky that Aidan has Whole Children. And that we have Whole Children. And that other kids have Whole Children.
The gap between what we pay and what is costs Whole Children to provide those classes is enormous. And every year we rely on our supporters to help us bridge that gap.
Thank you for anything you are able to contribute!

Whole Children
Whole Children offers programs and classes for children from toddler through teens with a range of abilities and special needs. The goal of our programs is to meet each child at their skill level in the most appropriate environment for that child.
To that end we offer classes, small group lessons, and team and outdoor sports. Our classes incorporate social skills training and practice. The emphasis in all classes is on finding and celebrating children’s individual strengths, having fun, and making and sustaining friendships.
Whole Children is a program of Pathlight.
