About The Actor's Garage

If you are looking to be in a position to build a child's dream of seeing themselves on the big or little screen, and simultaneously helping them build their self-esteem, look no further! The Actor’s Garage, an after school and weekend program, gives you the opportunity to help a child understand that it is their individuality, in itself, that is their greatest gift. You will have the chance to see shy children come out of their shells, and children who were once fearful to speak in public, embrace it! You may even spot the next budding Julia Roberts or George Clooney in the making! Not a professional actor? Not to worry, the most important ingredient in our business is our teachers' natural ability to connect with and to want to inspire children. We have found some of our greatest teachers have never even thought of becoming actors.

In addition to teaching acting techniques for TV, film and commercials, the children will learn valuable life skills such as: *Problem solving *Self-esteem *Public speaking *Team work *Positive self image *Resilience And more!! In addition to low, low, start-up costs and overhead, great training, and awesome support, one of our major assets is a lesson plan proven by thousands of children since 2004 - and they keep coming back!

About SOS Franchising

"Logo"

Success On The Spectrum was founded by Nichole Daher, an Autism mom who envisioned an ABA center that maximized the potential for progress for her daughter.
She created the perfect combination of the most effective methods of ABA science, a fun environment, community outings, safety, and high parent involvement.  
In addition, Nichole created a community outreach program that allowed the local community to come together.
Events like Autism Prom and Sensory-friendly Festivals allowed children to experience social milestones otherwise unavailable to them.  

After the original two centers boasted success and profit, Nichole founded SOS Franchising in order to share her mission with other passionate business owners.
We enthusiastically train and support new business owners to operate successful Success On The Spectrum centers.

SOS Franchising sells ABA franchises throughout the U.S.
