Looking for a playground that actually works for your child this summer? Here are two worth knowing about right here in Pinellas County.

Boca Ciega Millennium Park in Seminole and John Chesnut Sr. Park in Palm Harbor both have inclusive playgrounds built for kids of all abilities, ages 2 to 12. They feature rubber safety surfaces, ADA-accessible equipment, and sensory-friendly elements like musical components and interactive, exploratory features.

Both parks also have restrooms, picnic shelters, and plenty of open space. Free admission. Open daily, 7 a.m. to dusk.

Boca Ciega Millennium Park: 12410 74th Ave. N., Seminole
John Chesnut Sr. Park: 2200 East Lake Road, Palm Harbor

We also have a broader sensory-friendly guide to Pinellas on our website if you want more ideas for the summer: autisminspired.org/pinellas-sensory-friendly-guide-parks-libraries-shops-and-surprises

School may be out for summer, but we want families who are just learning about AIA to get a clear picture of what we do and why we exist.

Autism Inspired Academy is a private K-12 school in Pinellas County designed specifically for autistic students. We do not separate support from learning. Behavioral guidance, social skill development, and academic instruction are all woven together throughout the school day.

Every student has an individualized plan, and that plan grows with them. If you have been wondering whether AIA might be the right fit for your child, we would love to connect. You can reach us at autisminspired.org or email [email protected].

Every student at Autism Inspired Academy has a voice.

The tools look different from student to student, and that is exactly the point. Communication here is not one-size-fits-all. Some students speak, some use devices, some use a combination of both. What stays consistent is our commitment to making sure every student has a way to express themselves, connect with others, and access their education fully.

Most importantly, it isn't an exception at Autism Inspired Academy. It's an expectation.

🏈 Last week, we held our first Field Day!

Every student from elementary through high school participated with a lot of sun, fun, and teamwork.

A huge shoutout to Coach Beth for organizing every detail from start to finish, and to Coach Derrick for showing up for students every step of the way. They made absolutely delivered an unforgettable day for our students.

Year one is officially in the books. See you on the field next year.

Summer is almost here, and many families are already wondering how to help their child through the shift.

For many autistic children who have developed routines around school, the end of the school year brings loss of predictability, familiar faces, and the structure that helps them feel safe. The good news is that with some preparation, that transition can go a lot more smoothly. We put together a practical guide for families covering what to do before the last day of school, how to keep some rhythm in your summer days, and when it is okay to ask for extra support.

It is a quick read, and we hope it helps. ☀️

This year we are marking a big milestone. We are pausing in gratitude and excitement, and celebrating AIA Class of 2026!

Graduation isn't just a ceremony at AIA. It represents years of individualized instruction, real-world skill building, and a family that never stopped showing up alongside their student.

This year, the Class of 2026 is getting ready to walk. Every student graduating did so through a program built around their specific strengths, their pace, and their future. We are proud of what this moment represents, and even prouder of the students and families who made it possible.

👨‍🎓 🎉 Congratulations to the AIA Class of 2026!

When our students interact with animals in our Inspired Farming program on campus, we see opportunities to create greater social engagement than in many traditional therapeutic environments.

Autism Inspired Academy's Inspired Farming program puts this into practice every day. Students care for chickens and goats, tend gardens, and take on real responsibilities that build communication, regulation, and confidence over time. The farm is not a break from learning. For many students, it is where learning finally makes sense.

What a day on campus!

Thirty volunteers from joined us today as part of their Global Volunteer Day, and our students are still talking about it.

The team built bookshelves and organized a beautiful new leveled library inside our auditorium, giving our students a media center space they will enjoy for years to come. Then came the part everyone loved most. Volunteers played basketball, soccer, and volleyball with our middle and high school students, and the joy on campus was something to see.

Beyond the games, our students had a real chance to practice social skills in a fun, supportive environment.

They truly showed up for our campus and our students!

A heartfelt thank you to the entire Fanatics team for spending your day with us and for caring so deeply about our school community.

To every volunteer who gave their time at our 2026 Annual Clay Shoot at Tampa Bay Sporting Clays: thank you. You showed up, worked hard, and helped make an incredible day possible.

Your support helped drive real impact for our students, funding scholarships, investing in our staff, and continuing to build a campus designed around the needs of each child we serve. None of that happens without people who genuinely care, and you are those people.

If you would like to volunteer at a future event or come see the school in action, we would love to welcome you. Email [email protected] to discover how!
