THE CHOCOLATE SPECTRUM

We Offer Apprenticeship Programs for Teens and Adults with Autism or Other Developmental Disabilities... We are a family owned and operated artisan chocolate company. It was started by Valerie for her son, Blake, who is a young man with autism in 2013 in her home kitchen. In 2016, we moved into our shop in Jupiter Florida. We started with one young man and now are have over 15 differently-abled individuals in our program. Our purpose is to offer delicious chocolate confections while also helping individuals with special needs. We accomplish this two ways: By providing individuals with developmental disabilities training and by providing employment opportunities in some circumstances. In addition to training, each participant has the opportunity to engage in meaningful and purposeful experiences with an emphasis on social interaction.
