Bringing the Joy of Live Events to People of All Needs and Abilities
Access and inclusion are the core of who we are and what we are building at Jonathan’s Landing.
“Events With Jonathan™ supports organizations across Central Florida that serve both children and adults with a range of physical and hidden disabilities including Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, physical and visual impairments, and veterans with PTSD.
These individuals and their families often miss out on sporting and entertainment events because the lights, crowds, noise, and basic access can create multiple barriers to entry.
"The possibility and promise of what Events with Jonathan™️ can do for so many in our community to attend events they couldn’t access before is immense.”
Michelle DeVos
Events Chair
Events with Jonathan™ addresses this challenge through leveraging the generosity of businesses and organizations who gift their corporate suites and tickets to our program.
Jonathan’s Landing provides these suites to organizations across Orlando and Central Florida, providing a private and secure environment for individuals and families to create lasting memories at events they never thought were possible to attend.
The Events With Jonathan™ Experience
Our top priority is to make the process as easy as possible for organizations and those they serve.
NonPareil, OCA, Conductive Education Centers of Orlando (CECO), and Chance 2 Dance are just a few of the great organizations we’ve helped experience the joy of live events.
The Events With Jonathan™ team coordinates pre-event communications and logistics to provide as seamless an experience as possible. Participating organizations only need to distribute the electronic tickets to their families and staff, show up, and enjoy the event.
Coming Soon!

Social Stories for Attendees
Social stories are a great tool that allow us to show individuals what they will experience at an event, as well as to plan for emotions and feelings they might experience.
In these video social stories, we show you what it is like to attend an Events with Jonathan™️ evening where we see a basketball game played by the Orlando Magic and a hockey game with the Solar Bears. You’ll see what the event is like from the private suite we will be in, as well as all of the things we have to make sure the lights and sounds are not too overwhelming.

A Personal Dream
The Events With Jonathan Story
Events With Jonathan was conceived by successful serial entrepreneur, Jason Eichenholz, Ph.D., after seeing how his son Jonathan, who is a young adult with autism, responded so positively to the excitement of a loud arena football game in the more intimate microenvironment of a corporate suite.
The cushioned chairs, smaller crowds and quiet hallways – plus easy access to restrooms, snacks and food with no lines – made Jonathan comfortable enough to stay for an entire game.
Jason had frequently attended events and noticed a significant number of suites that were often “dark,” and wondered whether there might be an opportunity to help more people like his son while giving corporate suite owners an opportunity to “do social good and make a meaningful difference.” Events With Jonathan™ was the answer.
