Board Members Wendy and Caitlin had an amazing time at the Community Table lunch at Founders Hall Ridgefield. It was a fantastic gathering where members, board members, staff, and volunteers came together to enjoy a meal and learn about a local organization.

April is Autism Acceptance Month, and at SPHERE, we see the beauty of neurodiversity every single day.

For our members, acceptance isn’t just a calendar month, it’s the heartbeat of our community. It’s the standing ovation after a big performance, the focused energy in our workshops, and the deep friendships formed during every program.

We believe that every individual deserves a place where they can connect, create, and shine exactly as they are. This month, we invite you to look beyond "awareness" and join us in practicing true inclusion: seeing the incredible ability in every person! 💙 www.spherect.org
