Support Services

Supporting the special needs community

We believe strongly in inclusion. It is important to us to spread awareness of all kinds of abilities and focus on strengthening them rather than focusing on any disabilities.

Need To Believe Foundation supports the special needs jiu jitsu program led by Professor Mauricio Alonso, a 4th degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and professional MMA fighter. This program emphasizes various abilities, adaptive skills, and building confidence using jiu jitsu.

​

We support students with physical, emotional, intellectual, developmental, behavioral, sensory, speech, and other impairments. Our students have a variety of special needs, including (but not limited to):

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

• Down Syndrome

• ADHD

• Anxiety Disorders

• Cerebral Palsy

• Spina Bifida

• Muscular Dystrophy

• Epilepsy

• Sensory Processing Disorder

• And more
