Committed to supporting autistic individuals to achieve their maximum potential, while building connections for a happy life

Optimal Rhythms uses our unique neurologic approach to provide a therapeutic K-12 day school, ACCESS Academy; our A2A K-12 and adult virtual education programs; and an innovative Summer "CAN-Do" Camp for student with complex communication, motor, and sensory needs. We challenge communities to #rethinkautism by providing valuable training to equip parents and professionals to best support the sensory and communication needs of nonspeaking individuals.  Our Rethinking Autism Programs bring crucial training and resources to parents/caregivers, teachers, therapists, medical professionals and first responders.  We help those who care for nonspeaking children and adults to recognize their true potential, provide effective supports and accommodations, and afford them the human rights we all enjoy. Individuals who gain access to our programs experience acceptance, hope-giving opportunities for a true academic education, and meaningful connections with their peers and families. Will you help us extend our reach to more deserving students and families?

The Kitale Children's Home

The Kitale Children's home is in the country outside of the small town of Kitale, somewhat close to Eldoret. It currently houses 25 children but once had almost 100! The Kenyan government does not give children's homes money, but they do have many regulations! The children at our home come from the streets of Kitale, a result of deep poverty and the AIDS crisis, but also from other parts of Kenya. They are either found in the streets and market places or the police bring them to us. The "parents" of the children's home are Patrick and Phoebe Kimawachi. They have created a home and a community for these children that acts as a family. Everyone has a job and they all attend school. Some are in the public school in the nearest small village, Sibanga, and others are attending a national school high school because they did well on their national tests after Grade 8 and were invited. All schooling costs money and the national schools, which are the best path for students to get into university or trade school, require tuition, uniforms, books, and various other supplies which cost a fair amount of money.

The children's home rents a piece of land in order to grow corn to make ugali, a staple food, and the property also has a garden with fruits and vegetables growing. Self-sufficiency and sustainability have been the goals. There is a good water source on the property with clean water.

Everything costs, though. Staff is needed to help with the children, cooking, gardening, security, repairs to the buildings and tractor. The older children help with planting and harvesting corn, but they also need some assistance from a hired adult. Again, salaries cost money. The home is sorely understaffed due to lack of money. This can cause the government to fine them, thus creating a cycle of debt.

We are looking for a sustainable fund to assist with these needs (and requirements). We want all the children to get a quality education. We want them all to have the opportunity to be independent adults when they turn 18. We want the children's home to stay open! It has been the lifeline of so many over the years and the Kimawachis have been fully committed to keeping the home going and strong.

Leaves Of Learning Inc is a nonprofit organization focused on education. It is based in Deer Park, OH. It received its nonprofit status in 2001.

At Leaves of Learning, we believe that learning is a lifelong journey — one that grows with us and enriches our lives in lasting ways. Our program offers a place where curiosity is nurtured and learning truly comes alive, thanks to passionate, knowledgeable teachers who care deeply about their students.

Education here isn’t one-size-fits-all. Students create class schedules that reflect who they are — their interests, strengths, time, learning styles, and personal goals. We meet them where they are and support them every step of the way.

At the heart of Leaves of Learning is connection. Our teachers and staff build meaningful relationships with students, letting them know they are seen, valued, and respected — not just as learners, but as human beings. We bring subject matter to life by linking it to what matters in their world, making learning relevant, engaging, and real.

There’s joy here. You can feel it in the classrooms, in the conversations, in the way students light up when something clicks. We’re not just filling minds with information — we’re sparking curiosity, confidence, and a deep love of learning.

Leaves of Learning changes lives for the better. It offers students a place to grow, belong, and become who they’re meant to be.
