Visual Arts
Our visual arts classes provide students the opportunity to explore their natural creativity using a variety of visual art mediums. Our program provides students with the tools and guidance to help them develop their hidden skills and talents in the visual arts. Classes are specifically developed to encourage individual artistic expression and growth. Artwork created by our students is often displayed for the public to view, and if sold, the artist receives a commission for their work.
Performing Arts
Our students are given the opportunity to discover and develop skills in music, dance, and drama. Students also perform onsite and in the community, helping to bridge the gap of misconceptions for adults with intellectual disabilities. These performances serve to educate, enlighten, and inspire the public, while allowing our performers to give back to the community in a productive and meaningful way, fostering a genuine sense of self-worth in each individual.
Vocational Prep
ASPIRE offers classes aimed to further the education and development of skills necessary in many employment settings, while promoting independence, responsibility, and self-advocacy. Some vocational prep classes involve reading, writing, math, and money skills, while others focus on more specific vocations, such as sewing, knitting, computers, and graphic design.
Life Enrichment
We offer a wide variety of life enrichment classes to introduce new experiences, opportunities, and skill sets to our students. These classes rotate depending on student interest, and can range from foreign languages such as Spanish and sign language, as well as fitness classes such as yoga, to informational classes including fashion design and world culture. Seasonal celebrations are also an important component of ASPIRE's life-enriching experiences.
