$55,000 Goal

After high school, support services for our neighbors with Autism, Down Syndrome, and other differences disappear, leaving many isolated and unemployed.  

PerspectAbility creates opportunities for employment and education for neurodivergent adults in Northwest Arkansas.

After five years of employing neurodiverse adults through our Bentonville tulip farm, we’re expanding our impact.

By raising $55,000, we can hire teaching staff and launch our transition academy — a 2 year, 24/7 program that offers college-like support while building essential life and job skills.

PerspectAbility Inc. is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization formed by a group of parents whose children are neurodivergent. After researching local resources for neurodivergent adults, we determined the options available don’t fit our children’s needs or offer the quality of life we desire for our children. We are advocates for our children and firm believers in research-based strategies, data collection, communication, and accountability to ensure programming is effective and appropriate for the individual receiving it. 

The first phase of our mission began in the Spring of 2021 when we opened Northwest Arkansas' very first you-pick tulip farm - True Colors Farm by PerspectAbility. The tulip farm is a regional attraction for the NWA community that provides an opportunity to employ neurodivergent adults and to educate the public about our cause. We can't wait to welcome you to the farm once the tulips are blooming this April.

The second phase of our mission includes opening a Transition Academy. 

The final phase of our mission includes building an inclusive neighborhood where residents have access to supportive services to maximize their independent living. 

We are committed to partnering with the Northwest Arkansas community to ensure it does not miss out on the important talents and contributions of its neurodivergent citizens; and to ensure Northwest Arkansas’ neurodivergent adults are included and thriving in all places and spaces within their community.
