The Miracle Project®-New England
The Miracle Project®-New England (TMP®-NE) is a regional home of the California-based Miracle Project® (TMP®) founded by Elaine Hall in 2004. The mission of TMP®-NE is to provide fully inclusive theatre, film, and expressive arts programs for children, teens, and adults with autism and all abilities, which focus on the strengths and abilities of its participants and provides tools to build communication, social skills, job skills, and friendships while developing a unique neurodiverse community.
“With the compassionate and creative guidance of a wonderfully talented staff, my child has a rare opportunity to truly blossom and shine. ‘Miracle’ is no exaggeration!”
