Her Autistic Son's Passing Led to a Life-Changing School for Autism

"I was in Jared's room one day after he had passed away and I said: 'Jared I promise you that I will never let your death be in vain.' When you make a promise to your son, you are going to keep it and I told him, I am going to build the school of hope."
⁃ Amy Sparks, co-founder of The School Of Hope.

In our newest video, Autism Theater Project founder, Gena Sims, speaks to Amy Sparks, founder of The School of Hope. The School of Hope services children diagnosed with autism. Amy was inspired by her son Jared Sparks, who had autism, to start The School of Hope and honor him. Her son taught her to not give up and is the drive behind what she does. Amy’s goal is that her school can make a difference in the lives of autistic children and bring hope to parents by giving them the opportunity to help their children.
