From PERRYSBURG ROTARY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
The Perrysburg Rotary Community Foundation is proud to support Avenues for Autism with a $2,500 grant to provide independent life skills group therapy sessions for up to eight participants. These 12 sessions, offered at no cost to participants, will cover nutrition and cooking instruction, hygiene guidance, relationship and sexual health discussions, and other vital skills that promote independence. Grant funding will also provide for materials, food for cooking sessions, and support for trained counselors and staff.
“This grant will help expand our group therapy for our neurodivergent children, teens, and adult clients,” said Stacy Harper, executive director of Avenues for Autism. “These sessions will be instrumental in helping participants learn critical life skills. We are very appreciative of the support from the Perrysburg Rotary Community Foundation.”
“By partnering with organizations like Avenues for Autism, we help ensure that valuable programs are accessible to all families, regardless of financial barriers,” said Jack Sculfort, executive director of the Perrysburg Rotary Community Foundation. “We’re excited to see the impact this program will have in supporting individuals with autism and their families in Perrysburg, Wood County, and the surrounding region.”
Founded in 2004 by Bob and Suzy Tyner, Avenues for Autism works to expand opportunities that enrich the lives of individuals and families affected by autism. Their vision is to build a future where everyone affected by autism can live without limits. For more information, visit avenuesforautism.org.
