Grow Fully: Expanding Special Education Support
Every child deserves the opportunity to grow fully—emotionally, academically, and socially. But for many children in the South Bronx, access to essential special education services is severely limited compared to other, more resourced parts of New York City. At A House on Beekman, we believe in empowering the next generation to live out their God-given potential, no matter the challenges they face.
That’s why we’re launching the Grow Fully campaign. By expanding our special education offerings, we’re working to bridge the gap in services, ensuring that every child has the support they need to thrive.
How Your Support Will Make a Difference:
We’re expanding our special education services to ensure every child has the support they need to thrive. Your generosity will help us:
- Add a speech therapist to support language development and communication skills.
- Bring in a reading specialist to help students build literacy skills and confidence.
- Increase occupational therapy services, providing individualized interventions for more children.
- Provide comprehensive staff training, equipping our team with the tools to meet diverse learning needs.
- Offer more IEP support, helping families navigate the special education system and access vital resources.
With your support, we can remove barriers and create a future where every child reaches their full, God-given potential.
Closing the Gap in Opportunity
In the South Bronx, disparities in special education access mean that many children fall behind before they even begin. By supporting the Grow Fully campaign, you are investing in a future where every child can reach their full potential—joyfully, playfully, and powerfully.
Why Give?
Our neighborhood is just two miles north of the Upper East Side of Manhattan. And although we are a resilient community that is full of joy and hope, we are still facing enormous challenges brought on by unjust systems that have marginalized and oppressed our community for decades. These effects are real and long lasting.
At A House on Beekman, we believe in limitless potential. Our goal is to bridge the opportunity gap for students and families, enabling them to realize their God-given potential, regardless of their zip code.
