About
TwiddleU Learning Academy and the Twiddle Bugs Program offer in-person and digital learning that includes literacy, reading, math, and STEM education, along with agriculture, horticulture, and gardening activities. Children take part in sensory exploration, life skills activities, field trips, foreign language and American Sign Language, and Self-Guided Neurodiverse Lesson Plans. The program also includes summer camps, chef-curated lunches and snacks, and unconventional learning experiences outside of a traditional classroom setting.
• Price: Programs, speech, occupational, and play therapy are provided at minimal or no cost to families in need; free or low-cost programs are offered to lessen the burden for parents facing financial difficulties.
TwiddleU Learning Academy and the Twiddle Bugs Program provide behavioral, speech, occupational, and play therapy, with therapeutic services integrated into the school day and tailored for each child. Each student receives an individualized learning plan, and the program uses small class sizes and a focus on community and social skills development. The program incorporates career readiness and a 2 Gen Family Approach Model that combines tailored educational programs and therapies for children with career support for parents.
TwiddleU is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that specializes in educational training, support, research, and program management for the Autism and neurodiverse community, while also serving neurotypical children and those with developmental delays and disabilities, including Autism. The mission of TwiddleU is to empower children, including those that are Autistic and neurodiverse, in the greater Atlanta area through innovative, accessible education that fosters independence, lifelong learning, and academic success. The organization provides high-quality literacy, reading, math, and STEM education alongside hands-on life skills training and career readiness, and offers speech, occupational, and play therapy at minimal or no cost to families in need.
TwiddleU uses a combination of in-person, hands-on, and digital learning to address learning loss and educational gaps, and the Twiddle Bugs program focuses on preventing educational regression for both neurotypical and neurodiverse children during out-of-school times. The curriculum includes agriculture and gardening, sensory exploration, and alternative learning through agriculture, horticulture, and gardening as part of a sustainable living focus. The program provides required books to all students and recommended reading options to parents.
Parents are encouraged to attend interactive sessions with their children and receive Relationship Development Intervention (RDI) training so they can continue educational learning at home. TwiddleU offers parent-to-parent networking, informational sessions for parents, pop-up events, and coworking spaces where parents and guardians can work or study on-site. The program also provides coworking spaces, career training, and community support for parents, and is committed to diversity and inclusion, including hiring and maintaining a diverse staff and board.
TwiddleU serves neurotypical and neurodiverse children and those with developmental delays and disabilities, including Autism, in the greater Atlanta area, with a primary focus on Gwinnett County, Georgia. It serves a community where nearly 90% of the families identify as BIPOC and approximately 20% live in poverty, and its services are described as a lifeline for families who need help but cannot afford traditional options. The program provides a space where Autistic, neurodiverse, and neurotypical students and families can learn and interact, and offers small class sizes, personalized learning plans, behavioral, speech, and occupational therapy, foreign language and American Sign Language, field trips and life skills activities each Friday, healthy chef-curated lunches and snacks, and coworking space for parents and guardians.
