Two wonderful parents sent me this testimonial today. What an honor it was to be a part of their little boy’s life for six months!

“Our son was diagnosed as being on the Autistic Spectrum when he was two and a half. We searched in our home country of The Netherlands for the resources to implement an early intervention therapy plan with no success. We then looked worldwide for the right combination of ABA, speech/oral motor, feeding and occupational therapy within a friendly environment.

We are particularly proud of the thoughtful, reflective and meaningful learning and growing that is taking place this year. (more…)

I couldn’t be prouder to call these two young women friends and employees. Melissa and Hope are spending six weeks in Cambodia volunteering in an orphanage.

Below, find a few photos of children they are caring for. These pictures are sure to pull on your heartstrings. (more…)
