The Helping House was opened in 2008 by teacher Amanda Johnson and parent Josie Johnson. 

​

The teacher/parent team had decided that better services and therapy could be provided to children in highly-structured setting with a low student/teacher ratio. The focus is four-fold: to improve students self-care skills, language, independent work skills, and tolerance of peers. These skills will increase the child''s success in their next learning environment, whether it is a local public school, homeschool, or a more specialized center.  

​

The doors opened to two students in the Fall of 2008. 

Since its opening, The Helping House has served over 300 children and their families through multiple programs.
