The Alexander Leigh Center for Autism was founded by two mothers; both parents of children with autism. These two dedicated mothers were determined to create a place where children can reach their full individual potential, in a caring and safe environment, a place where each child’s differences are what make them special. To provide an environment where children on the autistic spectrum can develop their potential academically, emotionally, socially, communicatively, physically and gain functional independence using programs and methods that are selected for each child based on their individual needs.
Kelly Bailey, a devoted mother of a 8-year old autistic child, organized a full day of volunteer work for herself and four other Chicago-based custom education team members at the Alexander Leigh Center for Autism. One of the volunteers, Sherry Sanchez, even brought her two teenage daughters to help the Kronos volunteers support the Center in an effort to beautify the school in preparation for an open house. Together, they dedicated over 30 hours to wash walls, clean windows, scour bathrooms, and paint entire rooms. Kathrine, of the Alexander Leigh Center for Autism said “Your willingness to help the center has inspired me to launch a new ‘Weekend Warriors’ program of our own”.
