Angels Reach Foundation, INC

Angels Reach Foundation was established in 2004 in response to the needs presented by one of the founder's children, as well as the needs of other children with similar needs, who could not receive the most critically required interventions in the form most necessary for effective growth. Exhaustive searches throughout both Miami-Dade and Broward counties revealed only services addressing individual aspects of the problem, but there existed a lack of comprehensive, integrated, quality services for children with Autism and developmental delays, especially for high-fuctioning children who attempted to use stronger skills to compensate for foundational deficits.
Children are still often times grouped primarily by age in our community, rather than by functioning abilities or offering peer mentoring support. Therefore, higher functioning children are placed in settings where appropriate peer modeling is not available, and where maladaptive behaviors can be imitated without the necessary support that would allow such higher functioning children to instead learn how to support their peers rather than imitating inappropriate behaviors. Symptoms presented by children are still often treated superficially and in isolation, without accounting for foundational and systematic deficits that significantly challenged progress despite intensive therapy. 

Angels Reach Foundation was established two decades ago to finally offer the intensive, individualized, comprehensive and integrated intervention programs such special children need and deserve. Beyond helping each youth facing significant challenges overcome his/her own obstacles, Angels Reach has demonstrated that out of such hardships, youth can develop a sense of self-awareness and empowerment, becoming the compassionate leaders who truly make a difference in their community - Out of hardships come great strengths, and together we will create a “World Free From Labels” !

The unique Angels Reach programming bridges various therapy and academic methodologies into a highly effective means for truly individualizing and maximizing a child’s development was ground breaking in 2004 and remains a one-of-a-kind program today. The demand and need is great, but special needs families experience significantly greater financial challenges and need the help of our community to ensure their children get the help they need now.
