A Nonprofit Boxing Program Empowers Those Across the Autism Spectrum

The autistic community is often misunderstood and underserved. But Sarah Funk leads a roundtable discussion about the world of autism to bring awareness, empathy and advocacy in a new light. Jessica Margulies, Founder and CEO of The Spectrum Bout Fitness, opens up about her career as a SPED teacher and running a nonprofit boxing program for kiddos with special needs. Combatting the fears that this sport would cause more aggressive behavior, Jessica’s non-contact boxing classes prove to foster a healthy and effective outlet for students to alleviate the frustrations of the day — all while boosting confidence, self-control and communication. Psychologist Shon Powell, MA, PsyD, LMHC agrees that this therapeutic sport can be helpful for autistic kids and vouches for more programs to seek funding that support this population into their adulthood. Allyson Wood reveals her unique perspective of what it’s like to live with ASD and inspires folks to interact with patience towards those across the spectrum. Finally, Jessica tells her hustle story of launching a nonprofit business while encouraging entrepreneurs to never give up chasing the dream.
