Children and young adults with disabilities deserve to live lives full of opportunities and fulfillment despite the everyday challenges they may experience. AED School & Foundation is a Christian faith-based institution that focuses on the call to worship Jesus while providing life and social skills services, along with other programs, for disadvantaged children and young adults.

​

We teach children and young adults with special needs to play musical instruments and/or develop and strengthen their singing voices through vocal lessons and various programs.  AED School & Foundation also specializes in teaching life skills and providing social services to individuals ages 8–27. We are a resource and support system for the developmentally delayed community in Southaven, Mississippi, where our main headquarters is located, as well as the surrounding regions.

​

Our mission is to inspire exceptional children and young adults to learn to play musical instruments through our AED Worship School Music Program. Our mission and programs also include providing life and social development skills and services, programs for individuals who are visually impaired or blind, workforce readiness and career development for individuals with and without disabilities, technology and coding instruction, and mental health and behavioral counseling for our community and school systems.

​

AED School & Foundation's programs are designed for children and young adults ages 8–27 who have physical health challenges, developmental delays, and/or disabilities and who have a desire to play an instrument or sing gospel and worship music. We also provide life skills development services and programs for individuals who are visually impaired. These programs are available to the community and local schools.
