Our Why
A feeling of belonging is powerful…
it enables us, emboldens us,
and empowers us to be
everything we can be.
Messages from the Founders
Recognizing an overwhelming absence of individualized care and support for the neurodiverse community, a diverse group of parents came together and founded Project Beacon in 2021.
In 2024, PBTX will host monthly (12) staff-led outings and events. PBTX has the opportunity to make 270 unique positive learning impressions with the community we serve.
Provide individualized programs with positive
behavioral supports for skill development in the following skill areas:
Domestic home-living, social, communication, behavioral self-regulation, recreation and leisure, and early vocational skills.
PBTX will continue adding to their professionally designed programs through the addition of a Vocation Training Program and a Transition Academy before finally culminating our vision of an intentional residential community.
Our Day Programs will continue to add enrollment year over year, ultimately serving 40-60 adults. The Day Program and Vocation Training Program enrollment will continue to grow and double the number of adults served annually by PBTX.
