Saturday night, we gave parents a break. On October 24th, we hosted a FREE Adaptive Parents’ Night Out. The kids shared pizza and painted pumpkins together, and their parents got a few hours to themselves. I know how hard it can be to find care you trust when your child has unique needs. That’s why we do this, and why it’s free. To every family who trusted us with your kids: thank you. We loved spending the evening with them. A HUGE Thank you to the City of Dunwoody Parks and Recreation for partnering with us! @dunwoodyparksandrec Want to know when the next one is? Follow along here.

THANK YOU, Burns & McDonnell! Our Adaptive Trunk or Treat was a huge success, and we couldn’t have done it without the incredible team at Burns & McDonnell We’re so grateful for partners who don’t just support our mission, but show up and live it alongside us. This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to create more community experiences together! @burnsmcdonnell #WhereUniqueIsWonderful #UIRanch #AdaptiveTrunkOrTreat #InclusionMatters #CommunityPartners BurnsMcDonnell AdaptiveRecreation

Every individual has something wonderful to share. What a morning at our Adaptive Trunk or Treat! Around 140 people, including about 90 kids, came out to Waller Park for costumes, games, treats and a whole lot of fun. And yes, we had our very own King of Pop on the dance floor. A special thank you to Burns & McDonnell for helping make this day possible, and to the City of Roswell for partnering with us. Thank you to every family, volunteer and friend who made this day wonderful. @burnsmcdonnell @roswellrecandparks #autism #specialneeds #downsyndrome #kids #uniqueindividualranch

About ten years ago, I met Walter Vincent at his son’s Elementary school open house. He was looking for after-school care for his son Walter and didn’t know where to go. Walter is 19 now. Watching him grow through sports, outings and friendships, and seeing him express himself, is exactly why we do this. Thank you, Walter, for trusting us with your son all these years. Tomorrow night, we celebrate 11 years of stories like this one, and I’d love for you to be there. ✨ Eleven Years of Wonderful ✨ 📅 Saturday, October 17, 2026 · 7:00 PM 📍 The Mill Kitchen & Bar · 590 Mimosa Blvd, Roswell, GA 🎟️ Complimentary admission.

A few years ago, Sarah Evans was searching for a summer camp for her son Harrison. Place after place told her no, even programs set up for children with disabilities. Then she found Unique Individual Ranch, and after a few emails, we got on the phone. She walked me through everything Harrison needed, and my answer was simple: “Sure, that sounds good. We can handle that.” Sarah shared her family’s story at our 10th anniversary last October. Every child deserves a place where they’re fully accepted, and every family deserves that peace of mind. That’s what we’ve been building together for 11 years. This Saturday, I’d love for you to celebrate with us. ✨ Eleven Years of Wonderful ✨ 📅 Saturday, October 17, 2026 · 7:00 PM 📍 The Mill Kitchen & Bar · 590 Mimosa Blvd, Roswell, GA 🎟️ Complimentary admission.

Please share it with them, and bring a friend Saturday. #UniqueIndividualRanch #WhereUniqueIsWonderful #ElevenYearsOfWonderful #Roswell #Inclusion SpecialNeedsFamilies

Before Unique Individual Ranch, I was managing a summer camp and after-school program. When kids on the spectrum started coming in, I had no idea how to work with them, so I visited schools to learn. I kept asking myself why there wasn’t a space for these kids, and in 2015 I felt God laid it on my heart to do something more. That’s how UIR started. Eleven years later, I’d love for you to celebrate with us at Eleven Years of Wonderful, Saturday, October 17 at 7 PM at The Mill Kitchen & Bar in Roswell. Admission is complimentary. Send this to someone who should be in the room with us. #uniqueindividualranch #autism #specialneeds #downsyndrome

Thank you, Nate, for the time and heart you gave our campers! @veryrarenate_ #autism #specialneeds #downsyndrome #kids #uniqueindividualranch

Our summer camp got a visit we won’t forget. Nate Frazier, the starting running back for the Georgia Bulldogs, spent the last hour of the day with our kids, and it was something special to watch. He got down on their level, played alongside them, and made each kid feel like they had his full focus. Having someone like Nate show up and spend real time with our kids meant a lot. Nate, thank you for giving us an hour of your day. You’ve got a big season ahead in Athens and you spent part of your afternoon with us. It meant a lot to our kids, our volunteers, and our staff. We see how you treated them, and we won’t forget it. You’ve got a camp full of new fans now. Go Dawgs. @veryrarenate_ _ #autism #specialneeds #downsyndrome #kids #uniqueindividualranch
