The Future of Erin's Way
Erin’s Way is just beginning, with a vision rooted in love, lived experience, and a deep commitment to helping children and families feel supported. As we grow, we are working toward expanding our programs, events, and resources, but we need community support to bring these ideas to life. Funding will allow us to develop and sustain initiatives designed to serve children with autism and those navigating grief. We invite you to explore our future endeavors page to see the meaningful projects we hope to build, along with descriptions and visuals that reflect the impact we strive to make.
Mobile Sensory/Calming Room
We host hands-on workshops where parents can learn how to create sensory items tailored to their child’s needs, empowering them with practical skills while significantly reducing costs. These events make sensory supports more accessible, ensuring families can provide comfort and regulation tools without the high price tag of store-bought items.
Currently Nurturing
We are just getting started, and these are the projects we are excited to have up and running in the very near future. As we build the foundation of Erin’s Way, we are currently working to get our office space up and running so we can better serve families, grow our programs, and bring these meaningful resources to our community as soon as possible.
Sensory Kit Assemblies
We host hands-on workshops where parents can learn how to create sensory items tailored to their child’s needs, empowering them with practical skills while significantly reducing costs. These events make sensory supports more accessible, ensuring families can provide comfort and regulation tools without the high price tag of store-bought items.
Silent Disco Parties
We bring silent discos directly to schools and organizations, creating an inclusive, sensory-friendly experience where participants can enjoy music at their own comfort level. By controlling volume and stimulation, everyone can join in the fun in a way that feels safe, engaging, and empowering.
Growing Together
These are opportunities we are currently seeking funding for, with the hope of getting them up and running very soon. Click the links below to learn more about each project and, if you feel called, to make a donation to help bring them to life
Mobile Calming Room Expansion
While we will offer a mobile sensory room, we are also working to expand this vision into a mobile sensory and calming bus that can easily travel from event to event, bringing support directly to the communities that need it most.
Make and Go sensory kits
Our Make & Go Sensory Kits program allows families to create personalized kits tailored to their child’s unique needs. With a variety of sensory items to choose from, families can build a kit that works best for them and leave with practical tools to support comfort, regulation, and everyday success.
Therapy Dogs
Erin’s Way is proud to be developing a therapy dog program, including two golden retrievers currently in training to become certified therapy dogs.
These dogs will play a meaningful role in our programs by:
-
Providing comfort for children facing grief and loss.
-
Helping children regulate emotions through calm, nonverbal connection
-
Supporting sensory needs in a gentle and natural way
-
Creating moments of joy, safety, and companionship
💜 Because sometimes healing doesn’t come from words—it comes from presence
