Tampa Bay Lightning Community Hero: Cher Harris
Harris is the co-founder of the Autism Inspired Academy.
Oftentimes, traditional schools aren’t productive settings for neurodiverse students. So, this unique K-12 school tailors its academic programs and therapy sessions to build its students’ social abilities, self-awareness, and confidence.
The Lightning Foundation gave Harris a $50,000 grant to make sure the Autism Inspired Academy can continue its incredible work.
