who we are and what we are doing in

Santa Clarita to serve our community:

“The Include Everyone Project has provided my 8 year old daughter with meaningful opportunities to participate in performing arts classes. My daughter Isla, along with many other kids in the Santa Clarita Valley, struggles to participate in typical music, dance, and acting classes for a variety of reasons. The IEP Instructors are not only patient and kind, but well versed in handling behaviors and helping children of all abilities thrive in their classes. All children deserve the opportunity to be exposed to the performing arts, and I’m so grateful IEP provides the opportunity not only for fun classes but also the chance for my daughter and kids like her to perform their newly learned skilled in front of family and friends.” Ariana Lapierre, parent

IEPSCV is a creative space where EVERYONE is included: 2E, Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Cerebral Palsy, Prader-Willi Syndrome, Downs Syndrome, all differently abled artists and their families are welcome here!

We believe that no apologies are necessary at our events. Our community sees the world differently and communicates in their own very special ways. You are all a part of our artistic family and we are looking forward to all the exciting ways we are able to create together!

We take the safety of our community to heart. Masking at all indoor events is STRONGLY encouraged if your student is coughing or sneezing when covid, cold, and flu season are at a peak as we have a large population of higher risk participants. Thank you for your support and understanding!

Making community connections through the arts…

The Include Everyone Project’s long term goal is to have a community center and performance space where all members of our disabled community have a safe place to express themselves, explore their creativity, practice their social skills, and grow into the creative forces they were meant to be. 

While the artists blossom we aim to encourage those that love them to take time to focus on their own self-care by offering wellness classes, having resources available to them in one central location, and by forming a supportive community that extends past these walls and into the Santa Clarita Valley.

While we grow toward this big picture goal we offer inclusive events, performing arts classes for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, Prader-Will Syndrome, Downs Syndrome, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder physical disabilities and all differently abled members of the Santa Clarita Community, an annual summer camp for our artists, and performance opportunities!

We have begun our outreach program by bringing sensory friendly spaces to community events.

We have big dreams here at IEPSCV, we hope you’ll be apart of them! Email us for board member and volunteer opportunities or click the donate button to make a charitable contribution.

“I am so grateful this program exists. My son is very outgoing and loves to perform so I’m glad he has a place where he is accepts and allowed to be himself on stage.”
