The Need for Heartland Academy

Our Vision is to develop an inviting space that provides an enriching, sensory-friendly environment for Students with Autism and their Families. Our goal is to establish a center in Richland County with a proven success record that could be replicated throughout Ohio, leaving no child without the proper resources to learn where they are comfortable.

There has been a 27% increase in school aged children with autism in Ohio. However, areas outside of major metropolitan cities still lack accessibility to quality programming. There is a need to expand current programming to Northeastern Ohio by offering a successful program that provides evidence based therapies proven to dramatically reduce autistic symptoms within students.
