Lake Wales, Florida – Victory Ridge Academy (VRA) was recently awarded a grant from Camp Rotary Foundation, Inc. All funding received from the foundation will go towards purchasing materials for VRA’s App for Kids Program.
Victory Ridge’s Apps for Kids program aspires to provide our non-verbal students with access to the state-of-the-art technology that children so desperately need in order to increase their communication skills. Approximately 60% of our students are non-verbal communicators with primary diagnoses of Autism spectrum disorder, developmental delay, language delay, cerebral palsy, and many more.
Providing these students with access to specialized communication software and toys would posture these students for increased opportunities to interact with their families, teachers, and peers.
Both staff and students at Victory Ridge Academy would like to thank Camp Rotary Foundation for their generous donation and continued support over the years!
Victory Ridge Academy is a Title 1, 501 (c) (3) non-profit public charter school that exclusively serves children and adolescents with special needs. Victory Ridge Academy is based on the belief of the administration, staff and Board of Trustees that early intervention is crucial to helping children and young adults with special needs to cultivate healthy lifestyles and grow into well-adjusted persons. It is the school’s belief that students need a safe, positive and nurturing learning environment to develop communication skills, social skills, academic and technical skills in order to build their self-confidence and become productive members of society.
