THE MISSION of Lyla’s House is to develop an educational environment to aid in maximizing the potential of each Autistic student. We want to give them the best chance at the highest quality of life, while also providing a supportive network of resources within the community for their families to utilize.
From Our President & Founder
“As a mother of two autistic girls (ages 5 & 6) and former student, I recognize that every student learns in their own way. Whether that be visually, audibly, or experientially. In spring 2022, our girls had been let go from a school, because they no longer had the resources to take care of their needs. Difficult as that was to swallow, I respected the school’s decision and ability to acknowledge where they were unable to meet the needs of our children. As many know, we either create out of inspiration or desperation. As this hadn’t just impacted our small household, it affected our whole family and those who love our girls; My Dad Mike, their Pop Pop, watching the turmoil that this caused our household, had the incredible notion to create a school and resource center for Autistic families. Naturally, more family got involved and their Nana Mary, immediately knew what to name it, Lyla’s House, after our youngest daughter. They presented the idea to me and after ruminating on it, I knew this was going to become my purpose and was exactly what our world needs.” - Dana
Autism is being diagnosed in people of all ages each year. Let’s help recognize it sooner and get them the support they need, both in education and resources.
Dream it.
Lyla’s House began with an idea. Founders, Dana, Mike and Mary, have 2 little girls in their family with Autism. When resources were difficult to come by, they decided to create them.
Build it.
The vision for Lyla’s Academy, is to become the leading Autism school and resource center in the world. Paving the way for a revolutionary autism education.
Grow it.
Our plan is to help families all over the United States, and with your help, the world.
