JOYS TO THE WORLD, INC.
Joyfully Serving Young Adults with Multiple Disabilities and their families
JOYs to the World, Inc. wants to spread the message of JOY and to live life joyfully despite any unique situation individuals with severe/profound multiple disabilities and families are experiencing. We believe that we can make our community better by doing simple things together excluding no one, and that collective action can greatly impact the world. Through advocacy and outreach activities, our team works tirelessly each day to contribute their part to the greater good.
Students age out of public school at 21. And in Tulsa County, OK, there is nowhere for adults with severe-profound disabilities to find community and stimulation. Other programs require clients to be mobile and or out of diapers, which excludes people with profound needs. For these overlooked individuals, the only options are to sit alone at home or to go into a nursing home with the elderly. Their quality of life and the skills they had learned quickly begin to regress.
Our Vision
We had the vision to open a tertiary school for young adults with severe multiple disabilities. In September 2020, we opened The Joy Learning Academy with three students and added two more by January 2021. The Academy engages each person’s mind, body, and spirit in a joyful, loving, and supportive community. For the students’ families, our school ensures parents can work and take respite.
There are still young adults with disabilities who remain isolated at home. So, our vision will continue as we increase the number of students and families we serve. Eventually, we will add more staff, move into a larger facility, and provide transportation.

The Joy Learning Academy
Continuing Education
JTTW’s vision is to establish and eventually expand a tertiary institution called The Joy Learning Academy. The Academy is specifically designed to continue the education, skill training and learning experiences of young adults with severe multiple disabilities. It provides a program which engages the body, mind and spirit in a joyful, loving and supportive community. This vision will support families and mutually promote awareness between Joys To The World, Inc. and the surrounding community.
