A groundbreaking initiative has emerged to transform the landscape of autism advocacy and support. Spectrum 360, a newly established non-profit organization, is proud to announce its mission to empower and uplift individuals on the autism spectrum. With a commitment to fostering understanding, acceptance, and opportunities, Spectrum 360 aims to make a profound impact on the lives of children with autism.
Spectrum 360’s core objectives include:
Empowerment: Spectrum 360 empowers children on the autism spectrum by providing them with the tools and opportunities necessary to lead meaningful and joyful lives. Their mission centers on fostering self-esteem, independence and resilience.
Family Support: The organization offers comprehensive support services to families all designed to strengthen family units and positively impact a child’s development.
Education and Intervention: Spectrum 360 collaborates with educators and specialists to ensure children with autism receive high-quality, tailored education and evidence-based interventions. Their focus is on promoting inclusive practices and integration into mainstream educational settings.
Community Awareness: Through a series of awareness campaigns and workshops, Spectrum 360 works diligently to increase public understanding and acceptance of autism, with the goal of reducing stigma and fostering empathy for a more inclusive society.
Collaboration and Partnerships: Spectrum 360 actively seeks partnerships with schools, healthcare providers and community organizations to create a robust network of support and resources.
Research and Innovation: The organization places a strong emphasis on supporting autism-related research to improve interventions, identify best practices and develop new approaches that enhance the quality of life for children with autism.
Spectrum 360 was founded by two women who are dedicated to shaping the future of support for individuals on the autism spectrum. Cathy Sharp, President of Spectrum 360, is not only a visionary in the advertising industry but also a devoted advocate for autism awareness. Her personal journey, driven by her son Raine’s diagnosis, led her to co-found Spectrum 360 in 2023, aiming to create a world of opportunities for those with autism. Alongside her, Amanda Selig, Vice President, brings a wealth of expertise from her successful career in real estate investments. Amanda’s transformative move from Boston to Florida, driven by her daughter’s educational needs, inspired her to become a fierce advocate for the autism community. Together, their combined vision fuels Spectrum 360’s mission, making them true trailblazers in the field of autism support.
