Thank you so much for supporting our organization!  We are a groundbreaking production company dedicated to creating professional opportunities for artists with disabilities.  Our mission is to inspire confidence in young people of all abilities through professional, award-winning work on stage and on screen.  Through music, television, and theater, we illustrate the infinite potential of the autism community and beyond.

Your donations will help support the following immediate funding needs:

  • Fund event production and compensation for our performers with disabilities at upcoming events already booked for early 2026, including the South Beach Jazz Festival, and community events at Temple Beth Am and Actors’ Playhouse.

  • Create jobs for motivational speakers within our organization and partner nonprofits to share their stories of living with a disability, building resilience, and achieving success.

  • Support production of the fourth episode of The Voice Inside, our South Florida PBS TV series inspired by real success stories from young adults, both with and without autism.

Additionally, we are in the process of solidifying plans for six or more events and musical performances in 2026, and preparing an extended version of our play for young audiences, In the Life of a Child, during the 2026–2027 season.

Thank you again for your support!  Your donations of all sizes truly make a difference.  This quote from parent Fernanda Jorgensen, Philanthropy Miami's Executive Director, truly illustrates the impact of our work: 

"The Voice Inside reminded me of something so important: [my son’s] potential. The series’ powerful message of 'achieve anyway' filled me with hope and reinforced my belief in his ability to overcome obstacles and thrive in his own way."

Giving Activity

Mission

Our mission is to show the world that everyone has a voice. At ATP, we demonstrate how people of all abilities can overcome challenges and make a lasting impact. We’re redefining mainstream children’s and teen entertainment with a bold message for the next generation: no matter our circumstances, we achieve anyway.

Together, our artists—both with and without autism—create original, professional productions for stage and screen.

We use videos of ATP productions to teach empathy, resilience, and perseverance in schools and educational programs. Our drama workshops, open to students of all abilities, use role-play to build empathy, social skills, and effective communication.
