For many families of children with medically complex or special needs, finding a safe, supportive place for their child has felt impossible. Public schools are not always equipped to meet every child’s unique needs, leaving parents exhausted, worried, and wondering where their child truly belongs.
Roots Academy was created to change that!
Thanks to the LEARNS Act, which allows funding to follow the student, we opened our doors to provide a place where children are not just cared for—they are celebrated. A place where parents can breathe, knowing their child is supported by trained staff, receiving therapy and individualized instruction, and learning in an environment built just for them.
Every day, we see children grow, reach milestones, and gain independence—and we see parents regain hope and strength. But our waitlist continues to grow, and many families are still searching for the safe, nurturing space their children deserve.

As a nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of donors like you to keep our mission alive.
