Matt's Maker Space
In true collaboration with Matt’s Maker Space we are fulfilling our vision to nurture this community by fostering an environment where irrespective of their ability everyone can thrive.
My hope is that this center is a sanctuary of support for those that enter, a reminder to the community to push boundaries, ensuring inclusion is more that an idea but a reality.
Autism Moms Luncheon 2025
We’re thrilled to introduce this luncheon designed specifically for mothers touched by the unique joys and challenges of raising incredible children. It’s more than an event; it’s a community waiting to embrace you with open hearts and minds.
Dive into sessions crafted to enlighten, inspire, and uplift. But here’s the best part: meeting other mothers who "just get it." Imagine a space where every conversation, and every nod, signifies a deep understanding.
Join us, and let’s journey together.
Autism Moms Luncheon | Oct 25, 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM Wheelock Primary School, 75 Chestnut St, Fredonia, NY 14063
Spectrum Club Spotlight
Big Congratulations to Alyssa!
Meet Alyssa – Our Official Activities Director for Spectrum Club 13+!
We are thrilled to introduce Alyssa, a vibrant and compassionate young woman who is leading activities for our Spectrum Club 13+!
At just 22, Alyssa is a graduate of Beattie Technical School where she pursued her passion for animals as a veterinary technician. Currently, she brings her big heart and positive energy to McDonald’s, where she’s known for making every customer leave with a smile.
When she’s not at work, Alyssa’s creative side shines through her love for painting and drawing. She also gives back by volunteering with Jaime’s Dream Team, where she enjoys helping cook and support others.
Her kindness, empathy, and dedication to making others feel welcome are truly inspiring. She deeply admires her brother William, who proudly serves in the military, and she brings that same spirit of care and respect to everything she does.
Welcome, Alyssa – we’re lucky to have you leading the way!
