I have dedicated my working life to helping families of children with special needs. My first experience was helping my widowed uncle care for his only child, my cousin Anna when she was 4 years old. Anna is 23 now, and back then, there were few, if any programs or resources available to parents in need.

I continued to work with countless families with children of all ages and various degrees of special needs. I worked at a school for children with Autism, Cognitive Behavioral Conditions, Non-Verbal, and Socially non-interactive skills, where I became proficient in the ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) technique. I was amazed at the results.
