About ARTA NT
Strong foundations, we grow together
Our goal is to provide a safe space for 12 to 18 year-olds with Disabilities to make friends and learn to participate in the community.
We have lived experience with Autism and after dealing with a frustrating lack of support for our loved ones decided to found ARTA NT.

Strong foundations, growing together.
Ellen Crimmins
Director of ARTA NT
Ellen is a devoted young mother looking to make a difference in her local community. After seeing those she loves struggling to both work full time and care for their Disabled child, Ellen founded ARTA NT for both young Disabled teens and their parents.
With both a lived experience as the parent of a child with a Disability and experience as a support worker, who better to lead ARTA NT as we take our next steps forward!
"My dream is for ARTA NT to be a safe space for teens and young adults to build their skills, reach for their goals and feel connected to the community."
