☀️ **A Summer of Service at CLE!**

This summer, CLE students and staff across Austin, Costa Mesa, Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Monterey, and Rockville contributed approximately **3,000 volunteer hours** to their local communities!

They supported food banks, animal rescues, libraries, museums, farms, senior communities, foster-youth organizations, environmental projects, and many other worthy causes.

We are incredibly proud of the time, energy, and heart our students and staff gave this summer. Thank you to our community partners for giving them so many meaningful opportunities to learn, contribute, and make a difference! 💚

📍 DENVER FAMILIES — THIS CONVERSATION IS FOR YOU!

What comes after high school? And how do you know when to start planning for it?

For families of neurodiverse children, teens, and young adults, preparing for adulthood can feel overwhelming. There are financial and legal decisions to consider, education and employment pathways to explore, and—perhaps most importantly—skills to develop for greater independence.

Join us IN PERSON in Denver on Saturday, September 12 for:
Planning the Path Forward: Financial, Legal, Academic, and Independent Living Strategies & Resources for Families of Neurodiverse Children, Teens, and Young Adults

This collaborative panel discussion will bring together experts in financial planning, legal considerations, private and public education, and independent living supports to help families better understand the resources and decisions that can shape a successful transition into adulthood.

💡 Come with your questions.
🤝 Meet the experts face-to-face.
💬 Connect with other Colorado families and professionals.
🧭 Leave with ideas and resources to help you plan your young person’s
path forward.

Whether your young person is still in middle school, approaching high school graduation, exploring college or employment, or already navigating the early stages of adulthood, it’s never too early—or too late—to start planning.

Colorado professional partners: We would love your help getting this event in front of the families you serve! Please share this post and registration information with families throughout Denver and across Colorado who may benefit from this conversation.

🎟️ Space for in-person attendance is limited, so don’t wait to register!
📅 Saturday, September 12
⏰ 10:00 AM–12:00 PM
📍 Tivoli Student Union, Auraria Campus, 900 Auraria Pkwy, Denver CO
💻 A virtual option and post-event recording will also be available—but we’d
love to see you in the room!

Confidence isn't built in one big moment—it's built through the small wins.

Every problem solved, every new experience, and every step toward greater independence helps young adults develop the confidence and ownership they'll carry into adulthood.

Our President, Amy Radochonski, shares why these everyday moments matter more than we often realize.

We're still smiling about all the fun we had participating in Monterey's annual Fourth of July Parade!

From decorating our van to waving at the crowd, our students and staff had an amazing time celebrating with this incredible community. ❤️

At CLE, we ask one simple question: What do you want your story to be? Every new experience, friendship, and adventure becomes part of that story—and this parade was one we'll never forget.

Thanks, Monterey, for another wonderful Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙

🏁 Last weekend was about so much more than racing.

Watching Austin Varco make his NASCAR debut was a reminder that autism is not a single story. He's a college graduate, a racer, and someone who turned a passion into a goal—and then put in the work to make it happen.

What most people don't see are the months of preparation, the search for sponsors, the networking, and the persistence it takes to earn an opportunity like this.

Seeing Austin's smile after crossing the finish line in P17 said it all.

This is what happens when we invest in strengths, create opportunities, and build communities that believe in people.

Congratulations, Austin! We're all excited to see where the road takes you next. 🏁💙

Fast cars. Big dreams. Meaningful impact. 🏁

CLE is proud to partner with Austin Varco and support his journey on the track. Austin continues to inspire others by pursuing his passion while helping raise awareness and create opportunities for autistic individuals everywhere.

We're honored to be part of the ride and can't wait to see what this season brings.

🏁 Start your engines!

We’re thrilled to partner with as he hits the track this season. His determination, grit, and drive to break barriers make him an incredible ambassador for what’s possible when passion meets purpose.

We’re proud to be part of the journey and can’t wait to cheer him on every lap of the way!

Let’s go, Austin! 🚗💨
