Spark Center for Autism

06/16/2026

Some days, it’s hard to believe that we have had the privilege of doing this for 12 years.

12 years. 5 different locations. Hundreds of families. Innumerable and irreplaceable employees. Immeasurable memories.

The pride we feel for every child who walks through our doors and shows the world everything they are capable of, can never be replaced.

Though our job is to help teach these incredible kids, we come away having learned from them every single day - we learn from their resilience. We learn from their strength. We never stop learning.

Happy 12th Birthday to the Spark Center! We can’t wait to see what’s next!

We are big fans of the Miracle League of Plymouth — check out their Summer Fun Series below and grab your Family Pass before it's gone!

☀️🎉 SUMMER FUN IS HERE! 🎉☀️

Registration is now OPEN for the Miracle League of Plymouth's Summer Fun Series!

💦 Miracle Water Fun Day
🌺 MLP's 15th Anniversary Hawaiian Luau

All activities are designed to be welcoming and inclusive for individuals with disabilities and their families.

plymouthmiracle.org/summer

⭐ BEST VALUE: MIRACLE SUMMER FAMILY PASS ⭐

For just $75, our Summer Family Pass covers one Miracle League athlete AND their entire immediate family for all Summer Fun Series events!

Instead of purchasing individual tickets for each family member, enjoy unlimited access to all summer events with one convenient registration. If your family plans to attend multiple events, the Family Pass is by far the best deal and the easiest way to make sure you don't miss any of the fun. But be sure to hurry, the Summer Pass is no longer available after June 20!

We can't wait to have some fun this Summer! 💙⚾☀️

🌟May is National Speech- Language & Hearing Month!🎉

Whether you communicate through speech, sign, a device, pictures, or any combination - YOUR voice matters and deserves to be heard! 📣

We want to give a HUGE shoutout to our amazing friends at Befitting You Medical Supply for sharing their fantastic tips and tricks for our AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) users! 👇

✨This month (and every month), let's celebrate ALL the ways we connect, communicate, and make ourselves understood. Because communication isn't one-size-fits-all, and that's a beautiful thing!

💐 Happy Mother's Day to all of the amazing mothers in our Spark community!

Today we celebrate YOU! The ones with their hands full and their hearts even fuller. The ones running on no sleep, cold coffee, and pure love.

You are seen. You are appreciated. You are incredible.

We hope you have a wonderful and relaxing day! 💛

🌟April is Autism Acceptance Month - and we're here to celebrate!🌟

This month, we honor the incredible autistic individuals in our lives and in our community. Acceptance means more than awareness; it means embracing different ways of thinking, communicating, and experiencing the world.

At Spark, acceptance isn't just something we celebrate in April. It's something we practice every day - in our clinical work, in our workplace, and in our community.

To every family who trusts us with your child's journey: thank you. We are honored to be part of it. 💙

February Fun! All month long, our staff put their spatial reasoning skills to the test with our Guess the Candy challenge! 🧠💡 Eight different jars. Eight different candies. Eight chances to win! From nerd clusters to conversation hearts, we counted, we guessed, we debated, and we had some laughs!
Here's to the winners, and to everyone who said "at least 500" when the answer was 87. 🏆

This week we’re celebrating Madi and the positivity she brings to Spark each day! ✨ Madi is always cheering on those around her and lifting them up. Her dedication to her learners, teamwork, and willingness to jump in wherever needed make such a difference in our center. We’re so grateful to have her as part of our team! 💙
