About the Spectrum Empowerment Project

The Spectrum Empowerment Project is a non-profit organization that hires exclusively individuals on the Autism Spectrum and other atypically developing individuals for paid employment. Our business model highlights the unique creativity and skillsets of individuals on the Autism Spectrum and our work environment is tailored to accommodate their sensory and social needs. ​ We have kicked off this business venture by entering the industry of clothing retail. Specifically, designing and selling custom shirts for local businesses. At the outset we have already contracted with many local businesses and organizations in the Commonwealth to manufacture their customized. A local entity that chooses Spectrum Empowerment is not only delivered a superior product but is contributing to help a growing need of providing young, gifted, and otherwise unemployed individuals with the opportunity for gainful employment. In addition, members of the Spectrum Empowerment Team have already began designing customized t-shirts inspired by their unique perspective. Each month a team member will be featured with a shirt they personally designed.
