Alicia's Voice

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide the resources that empower autistic children to thrive in both schools and communities. We are dedicated to fostering inclusive environments that provide access to educational tools, specialized services, and opportunities for community engagement. By collaborating with other nonprofit organizations, educators, families, and businesses, we aim to ensure that all autistic children receive the essential support and resources they need to reach their fullest potential and lead successful, fulfilling lives.

Our First Project:

Sensory Rooms for Schools

An autism sensory room is a specially designed space that provides a calm and safe environment for individuals on the autism spectrum to explore their sensory needs. These rooms often feature calming colors, low lighting, and a variety of sensory equipment, including weighted blankets, fidget toys, bubble tubes, and interactive panels. They are intended to help individuals self-regulate their emotions and sensory input, reducing anxiety and promoting focus. Sensory rooms serve as therapeutic retreats where children and adults can engage in sensory play, enabling better emotional well-being and supporting learning in a comforting atmosphere. However, many schools operate with tight budgets that prioritize core educational needs, curriculum materials, and staff salaries. Specialty programs like sensory rooms may not receive the necessary funding. Therefore, our first project aims to raise funds to install sensory rooms in schools, creating safe and calming environments that support the sensory needs and emotional well-being of students on the autism spectrum. These specially designed rooms will help children regulate their sensory input, reduce anxiety, and enhance focus, ultimately promoting improved learning outcomes.

Alicia Tucker
Founder/President

After dedicating 26 years to teaching special needs children, I developed a deep passion for individuals diagnosed with autism. Throughout my career, I witnessed the unique challenges these remarkable children face and realized the significant gap in access to specialized tools and resources needed for their growth.
This inspired me to create "Alicia’s Voice: Autism Advocacy." My goal is to ensure that children on the autism spectrum receive the support and resources they need allowing them to thrive socially and academically in safe, nurturing environments. Together, we can make a meaningful impact in the lives of these children and help them reach their full potential.
