It’s a busy summer for Turtle Wing Foundation, with many opportunities to learn, grow and play for our Turtle Wing families, as well as educational professionals and daycare staff in the local area.

This is a free opportunity.

What makes these programs for “Turtle Wing Families?”

These programs are specifically for those who may have learning challenges (autism, ADHD, OD, sensory processing, etc.) or would just benefit from a smaller class size, more one-on-one assistance, and an environment catered to the needs of the individual, meaning a more “inclusive” atmosphere.

For any questions and for registration links to sign up for these programs, please reach out to Turtle Wing Foundation by calling (979) 505-5090, or emailing Kim at kimmiori@turtlewingfoundation.org.
