At Sherwood Autism Center, growth happens every day—and in many different ways.

We see it in the students building new skills and confidence. We see it in the adults discovering new interests, increasing independence, and strengthening community connections. We see it in the families and caregivers who partner with us along the journey.

We also see it in our organization as we continue to invest in programs, expand opportunities, strengthen our team, and build the resources needed to support more individuals with autism and developmental disabilities.

Growth isn't always measured in big milestones. Sometimes it's a new skill, a new friendship, a new opportunity, or a new level of confidence.

Together, we are growing stronger, creating more possibilities, and helping individuals thrive at every stage of life.

Thank you to our students, clients, families, staff, supporters, and community partners for growing with us.

Founded by dentists Dr. Tim Stirneman and Jim Wojdyla, this day highlights how a simple smile can boost mental health, reduce stress, and foster positive social connections.

Our students had a busy and exciting month, volunteering across Kansas City, building birdhouses, exploring sensory play, and enjoying time outdoors. Alongside these hands-on experiences, many students continued thriving within their classroom routines. We were also glad to welcome two new students to Sherwood this month.
