Financial Assistance
Self Determination
We understand the financial challenges that can come with providing your child great services and programs. Our first recommendation is to look into Self Determination. If you are on the spectrum or a guardian of someone on the spectrum it is likely that you are now entitled to benefits that can assist many of your needs in addition to helping you afford participation in Spectrum Laboratory. Our classes and mentorships are a great fit for the self determination model. We are inclusive, person centered and focused on building a great community of artists while bridging the gap between our students and the entertainment industry. All ages and abilities are welcome as long as incoming students have some creative spark and genuine interest in pursuing the arts.
Here is a growing list of organizations and contacts that can help you navigate the landscape of self determination. If you know of other great resources please let us know!
