About
The Pilot House is a community center in Fairfield, CT, that provides social programs, life skills, therapeutic services, and support to children, young adults, and adults with special needs. Founded in 2006 by a group of parents, the center offers services to individuals with Autism, Asperger's, ADD/ADHD, Social and Emotional needs, Sensory Processing Disorders, and Down Syndrome. Their programs promote skill building, self-confidence, self-expression, team building, and friendship. With a low student-to-staff ratio and hand-selected peer mentors, The Pilot House provides high-quality and low-cost programs. They have expanded over the years, moving from a basement location to their current home at 240 Colony Street, and introducing new programs such as therapeutic horseback riding and a community farm.
