Lacey Herbert-Stephen

Mrs. Lacey is the CEO and founder of the Lacey Pac Adaptive Movement Center. She is the owner of Lacey Performing Arts Center a local dance studio in New Philadelphia. After her son was diagnosed with Autism at age 18 months, Lacey knew she wanted to learn more about special needs. She began by adding Sensory and Movement Classes to her dance studio, where Mrs. Farrah & Mrs. Carie began teaching. The program grew and she met lots of wonderful parents going through the same things she was. After seeing a huge need for more programs for special needs children and adults she started researching, she found that there were no facilities for them to attend that were focused on fun and spending time with their peers. That is where the Lacey Pac Adaptive Movement Center was born. Lacey wanted a place that her son and all the special needs children and adults could call their own, a place that adapted to them rather than them adapting to it. She hopes that each child and adult that walk through the Adaptive Movement Center doors feel at home and safe!
