About AIM
Discover the innovative journey, cutting-edge mission, and visionary team revolutionizing support for the special needs community.
Our Story
Always Improving Minds (AIM) was founded by two passionate advocates who recognized the need for comprehensive support and advocacy for the special needs community. What started as a small local initiative has grown into a nationwide organization with chapters across the United States.
Our founders, both personally connected to the special needs community, understood the challenges families face when navigating services, education, and advocacy. They envisioned an organization that would not only provide direct support but also work to create systemic change and build inclusive communities.
Today, AIM serves thousands of individuals and families through our comprehensive programs, advocacy efforts, and community-building initiatives. We continue to grow and evolve, always staying true to our core mission of supporting and empowering the special needs community.
