Making a difference in the world

In 2006 I wasn't happy at my job. When I heard there was a chance to help and make a difference in a child's life I went for it. My clients were a 13-year-old with Autism and Asperger's Syndrome and a 10-year-old with ADD. It was a challenge but it was so rewarding to see the affect I had on them.
