The Kyle Academy for
Autism was founded by Brian and Jackie Scott. After learning their middle son
Deacon, who was diagnosed with autism at the of two and a half, would not be
eligible for therapy, due to his age this year, and would only be eligible for
life skills classes, they decide to take action. The couple began the process
of preparing a future for not only their son, but for others just as special as
him.
Before leaving her job as
a junior high special education teacher of eight years, Jackie provided daily transportation
for Deacon. She now provides curriculum for her son’s therapy school, in
addition to leading the Academy in providing a fun, unique, and meaningful
Christian education to children with autism. For more information, or to donate
