A Message From Our Founder Dr. Susan Sherkow
Spark Psycho-Social Skills Program:
A Unique Neurotypical Mentoring Approach
Spark is a weekly inclusive, mentoring program for young people—whether neurotypical, on the autism spectrum, or with developmental delays. In a structured, supportive group, participants build social skills, impulse control, emotional awareness, and self-confidence.
Each session pairs participants with trained volunteer mentors who act as buddies and role models, creating a safe, fun space for learning and connection. Activities include art, games, and our signature “Sparkinator” discussion to explore emotions, relationships, and coping strategies.
Join us every Wednesday after school—enroll your child or volunteer as a Spark Mentor today!
