I have a teenage son with ASD and I have been working with children with special needs for the last six years. Having had a special needs child has transformed my life, and I am deeply committed to working with children and their families. Without the support, my son would not be where he is, so the second half of my life is going to be about helping families like me. I know what they go through, and each child is so capable of learning and reaching new goals. I LOVE this work!

    Kathy primarily helps with our son who has special needs. She also helps with our other two small children. She drives, plays with the kids and helps with homework. Our family has developed a very special relationship with Kathy and we are very lucky to have found her!
