Welcome to Pattison's Academy Improving the quality of life for children with multiple disabilities by providing comprehensive education and rehabilitation programs.
Everyone faces challenges. For children with disabilities, challenges can create a handicapping situation if educational, medical, family, and community supports are not in place. Each and every day, the children we serve do their very best to overcome these challenges and maximize their potential, but they need help. Since 2005, Pattison's Academy has risen to the challenges that these children face by developing a therapeutic summer camp, PACE Charter School, Early Intervention Services, Service Coordination, therapy practice, and equipment loan program. Now we need you to Get Inspired, Get Involved, and Get Going to help them meet the Challege for Change! Together we can change outcomes, change attitudes and change lives (including your own) for the better!
It can be anything….Train for a Marathon, Random Acts of Kindness, Lose X amount of weight in X amount of days or months. You Decide what to do and for how long. Also, post pictures on your challenge page, your story, the stories of Pattison’s... the point is, have fun with it!
You will then receive your own web link that will take others directly to your fundraising page. Use this link in emails, auto-signatures, facebook posts, twitter, etc..to let your friends know what you’re doing and encourage them to pledge!! Also, challenge your places of work…get a team started at your business and compete against another team! Be as creative as you want!
This organization was inspired by a little girl named Pattison Julia Sloat, her sisters Amelia and Mariana, and the thousands of other children like her and the mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, grandparents, great grand parents, and neighbors who are caring for and loving them and know they deserve what we all want: love, nourishment, a safe home, education, independence, and a chance to make our dreams come true.
