Parsippany School For Autistic Students Seeks Donations

PARSIPPANY, NJ — A fundraiser organized in Parsippany is seeking support for Limitless School, a nonprofit private school described in the campaign as serving children with autism and related developmental and communication differences.

The fundraiser says Limitless School is a NJDOE-approved, 501(c)(3) nonprofit private school. According to the campaign, the school was created for children who do not do well in traditional classrooms because the pace can be too fast, the environment can be overwhelming, and the needed support is not always available.

“Every child learns differently. Not every school is built for that,” the fundraiser reads. “Too often, these children fall behind - not because they cannot learn, but because the school around them was not designed for how they experience the world.”

According to the fundraiser, Limitless School uses the DIR relationship-based model and keeps classrooms intentionally small. The campaign says teachers adapt to each child’s learning style and focus on building communication, emotional regulation, social connection, and problem solving.

Organizers say the school is in a critical phase. The fundraiser states, “Families are already privately funding tuition because their children are thriving here.” It also says more students are waiting for their school districts to fund placements once Limitless is formally listed on the New Jersey Department of Education Approved Private School directory.

The campaign describes that listing as an important step for families seeking an appropriate placement. It says community support during the start-up period can help the school remain stable while it builds the program and expands access for students.

The fundraiser says money raised will go toward scholarships for families, specialized teachers and staff, small class sizes, sensory-friendly classrooms, and adaptive learning tools and communication supports.

“Every contribution helps create a school where children who struggle elsewhere can learn, connect, and grow,” it reads.

The GoFundMe page says Monica Osgood and Esther Cha are organizing the effort. As of Monday, nearly three weeks into World Autism Month, it had raised $37,765 of a $50,000 goal from 134 donations.

The campaign also asks supporters to share the fundraiser in addition to donating. Organizers say that could help the school reach more families, educators, and supporters.
