"The cost per year to raise a child with an intellectual disability is almost twice the cost of raising a child without intellectual disability" (Autism Speaks).

It's time to change this narrative. The mission of FUNctional EDventures is to provide the highest quality academic and social enrichment programs to our young, neurounique people from ALL socioeconomic backgrounds.

We are committed to providing fun, engaging activities and growth opportunities that are based on positive interactions. We view our responsibility as extending far beyond the mere teaching of academic and social skills and wholeheartedly advocate for the right of all individuals to participate and belong to our community.

"For several years now we have been trying to teach Nathan how to read with little to no success. Every method we tried just didn’t seem to get through to him, and his frustration levels only grew. In just the few short months that we’ve been obtaining services from FUNctional EDventures, Nathan is beginning to read! Ms. Koli’s lessons are engaging, fun, and tailored specifically for Nathan’s personal preferences and needs. He is excited to see her each day, and since his lessons are virtual, we can make it to class wherever we have internet connection! With daily follow up reports, extra resources, and an affordable price tag, FUNctional EDventures is everything we’ve needed, and more!”

Some of the services we provide are:

One-on-one tutoring; individualized for each student's needs
FUN Friday social skills classes
Parent Social Hours
Free Family FUN community outings
In-Home/ Individualized Education Plan (IEP) consultations
Teacher subscriptions of monthly differentiated/modified academic work

In order to provide scholarships and ongoing support for families and teachers, we rely on donations to sustain these important services! Below are a few examples of where your donations go:

$25 covers the tuition for one student to attend a two hour social skills class
$50 covers a one-month subscription for a teacher to enroll in our differentiation/modification program for 5 pages of differentiated/modified work and one 15 minute monthly check-in
$100 covers two sessions of 1:1 tutoring, making the monthly cost only $90 for a family in need
$190 covers one month of 1:1 tutoring session (4 hours of 1:1 tutoring services)
$250 could cover one month of 12 hours of services (4 1:1 tutoring sessions and 4 two-hour social skills classes) or could help fund specific program items such as Quickbooks, Eversign, News2You curriculum, academic supplies and administrative costs

As a 501(c)(3), any donation over $250 is tax-exempt.

Thank you supporting FUN ED! We look forward to an exciting first year!
