Miracle Project

The Miracle Project New Jersey is an evidence-based, groundbreaking program which helps children and young adults with autism and other special needs build communication and social skills, community, and greater self-esteem though music, acting, dance, acting and storytelling. This creative dynamic socialization program was founded in 2004 in Los Angeles by Elaine Hall, and is now being implemented by MPAC – the only provider in the state of New Jersey.  Each semester, our Performing Arts School provides class offerings for our Miracle Project students or those interested in the program.
