Beyond the Spectrum Education and Therapeutic Center Receives $23, 169 Health Care Grant from the Community Foundation

June 14, 2021 – Sarasota

Since 2007 Beyond the Spectrum has served families in Sarasota & Manatee counties affected by Autism and other related diagnoses, ensuring support to our families through our therapeutic and educational programs. During the past year, the Covid 19 pandemic pulled back the veil on the additional support needed for our students and their families in the area of mental health services. As a nonprofit these needs can only be met with the continued support of our community, patrons, and sponsors. 

Beyond The Spectrum would like to share our gratitude with the Community Foundation of Sarasota County and its donors for awarding us with a Health Care grant. This funding will allow us to add a mental health therapist to our staff for additional support of our students and families.
