SA Life Academy Having a child with a disability changes the direction of how you do life. It just looks different. Cindy Boynton, Executive Director and Mom

A day program that provides exceptional continuing learning opportunities aimed at helping individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities live active and full lives. As parents of an adult son with an intellectual and developmental disability (IDD), my husband and I want the same quality of life and opportunities for our son, Drew, as we want for our two other grown children. Once in

dividuals age out of the public-school system at 22 years old, options in San Antonio are limited. As parents of a child with special needs, we were looking for a program that offered continued learning opportunities, enrichment, socialization, and independence in a safe environment. To address this need, we founded SA Life Academy, a year-round day program that provides exceptional learning opportunities aimed at helping individuals with IDD live full and active lives in a safe environment. SA Life Academy differentiates itself from existing programs through a curriculum designed and facilitated by certified Special Education teachers, low staff-to-adult ratios (1:6), a high level of community involvement and focus on helping our adults discover and work towards their life goals. Since my husband and I opened SA Life Academy in 2017, we have experienced a 315% growth-rate and serve 48 adults a day and 87 adults per week. To continue meeting the needs of adults in our community, we rely on community partners and know that together, we can transform the lives of adults with IDD while providing families with peace of mind.

This Memorial Day, we’re pausing to reflect on the brave souls who gave everything in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the reason we get to learn, grow, and show up every day with purpose.
We are closed today for the holiday, but will reopen tomorrow.
