Changing communities for the better

Extra Special People, Inc. (ESP) was founded in 1986 in Watkinsville, Georgia to create a community of support for individuals of all abilities. Our founder, Martha Wyllie, noticed an unequal amount of opportunities for children with disabilities, beginning ESP as one week of summer camp for only 21 participants. Since our humble beginning, we have grown to now serve over 1,000 participants from 3 program locations in Georgia through 360 annual programs and family support, employment through a mobile coffee cart, Java Joy, and Hooray summer camps.

ESP will continually strive to grow in our capacity to serve the thousands of individuals with disabilities in our region and provide new, innovative, and accessible experiences for kids and adults of all abilities in our community to thrive.
