Turtle Wing Foundation

Turtle Wing Foundation Turtle Wing was founded in 2011 in memory of Jackson Allan Hooper. Turtle Wing serves families in Fayette, Lavaca, Colorado, and surrounding counties.

Honoring Jackson Allan Hooper 🐢🪽

Helping individuals with learning challenges in rural areas achieve their full potential by providing access to a shared network of emotional, educational, and therapeutic resources. Jack, who was diagnosed with high functioning Autism, passed from this life too soon just prior to his 10th birthday, and in doing so sparked a fire within his family and community to

help families who struggle with all learning differences. Their struggles while raising Jack and his brother Will, who also had an Autism diagnosis, were very real and they wanted to help other families facing the same struggles. These families not only face financial challenges but also contend with limited resources that living in a rural area present. The three programming areas of Turtle Wing are Early Intervention, Supplemental Services, and Community Education and Advocacy.
