Humanex Academy

$2,500

Inclusive Travel & Transition-to-Adulthood Experiences

Humanex Academy is a small, intentionally designed private school in Centennial, Colorado serving neurodivergent middle and high school students. Their approach blends academics with executive functioning supports, transition planning, and real world experiences.

How the Grant Is Being Used

This grant is helping launch Humanex Academy’s Inclusive Travel Fund, making structured and supported travel accessible to students, particularly juniors and seniors preparing for adulthood.

Funds are being used to:

  • Provide student scholarships to reduce travel and lodging costs
  • Support planning and coordination for inclusive trips designed with sensory and executive functioning supports
  • Begin building a long-term travel fund so future students can benefit
  • Ensure equitable access to travel experiences that foster independence, confidence, and self-advocacy

Impact in Action

The first supported trip is planned for Spring 2026, with ongoing travel opportunities envisioned as a core part of the Humanex experience.

“We are thrilled to be able to move forward with our planned trip and those in the future with your support.”

Jai-At-Play

$2,500

Inclusive Community Travel & Autism Family Education

Jai-At-Play is a neurodivergent-led organization founded by Shekira Farrell and her son Jaiden, a young autistic self advocate. Their work centers autistic voices while providing families with inclusive, affirming, and sensory-friendly learning experiences.

How the Grant Is Being Used

This grant is supporting Jai-At-Play’s Autism Family Workshop Tour, bringing free, high-quality workshops directly into community spaces, starting with Atlanta, Georgia.

Funds are being used to support:

  • Travel for Shekira and Jaiden to Atlanta
  • Delivery of a sensory-friendly Autism Family Workshop
  • Educational materials and interactive activities for families
  • Sensory-friendly goody bags for participating children
  • Expanding access to autism education through trusted public spaces like libraries

Impact in Action

The workshop supported by this grant is officially scheduled this Spring 2026 at the Fulton County Buckhead Library in Atlanta. This event will provide families with tools, connection, and representation.

“Your support helped make this workshop possible, and we’re thankful for the role Inclusive Navigators played in making this stop a reality. Thank you for supporting work that centers autistic voices and families.”

This experience also supports Jaiden’s growth as a young autistic leader, giving him opportunities to teach, connect, and advocate alongside his mother.
