Why this petition matters

Started by Laura Joslin

Physically disabled students are the least served population in our educational systems. These students are presumed to lack the ability to progress or that the complexities of their disability is too difficult for them learn.

OUR PURPOSE: No Limits Academy has created a pioneering method that fully adapts academic instruction to each individual student. Education is elevated for learners who are non-verbal with low motor function through the means of technology, therapy, communication, and a multi-sensory facilitated curriculum. No Limits Academy’s purpose is to 1) Increase Cognition, 2) Increase Communication, 3) Increase Physical Ability.

Our Method:  The No Limits Method is a culmination of researched based treatments, philosophies, and medical practices to create an environment for cognitive advancement for student with disabilities. With a combination of muscle stimulation, neuropathway rebuilding, and stimulation of the seven senses our students have reached goals far beyond their families dreams. Neuroscience drives this method and with advancing exploration and research, the world of a non-verbal, low motor functioning student is able to build their communication that drives and empowers their education.

Our Outcomes: No Limits Academy has completed a study over the past seven years that has proven the method’s incredible outcomes. The No Limits Method has improved language acquisition for non-verbal students in three categories receptive, expressive and labeling. Students in every cognitive range have improved during their matriculation at No Limits Academy. This directly results in the lessening of frustration and behavioral issues while increasing their ability to connect with others in a more poignant way.

No Limits Academy in partnership with Ability Plus Therapy, the largest Pediatric Rehabilitation Center in central Florida, has advanced students with physical disabilities to a much higher level of education, some even advancing to dual enrollment credits to continue their scholastic endeavors in college.

The vision of Laura Joslin who because of her two children with Cerebral Palsy have negotiated this world both therapeutically, medically and educationally and created two companies so that societal expectations for children should be changed with disabilities. Now the team of people both on the medical side with Ability Plus therapy lead by her business partner Roberta Neves,MPT-NDT and the educational side with No Limits Academy we are breaking barriers for change in the education realms by connecting complex physically disabled students to their education.

No Limits Academy where we know that your disability does not define your ability to learn.

We want to create a research facility combine disciplines in the medical field and educational fields and expand what we are doing at No Limits Academy. Changing the educational plan for children with complex physical disabilities.
