Reach over 120 families through Community Education events, camp, and evaluation services
Offer training for our staff that keeps them at the forefront of advancements in education and therapy such as the Perkins CVI course, Deafblind-Intervener course by Utah State University, weekly sign-language classes/sign-language immersion camp, and bi-annual training in various topics
Reduce camp tuition costs for four families with financial need and gave over 25 complimentary Community Education tickets to families. providers, and Ellis staff members

"We're so excited to attend Camp ImpAACt for the first time. We're from Florida and there are no accessible camps for children with multiple disabilities in our area. We also appreciate that Ellis provided us with a scholarship to help offset travel costs!"
