Where did your vision come from?
Where did that start?
What was the originate?
Honestly, it started for me becoming a mom.
I have a seven-year-old, almost eight-year-old son at this point, and he's actually autistic.
He's on the spectrum.
He is verbal.
He does struggle in social situations.
So there are a lot of the more common traits and characteristics that people are aware
of with autism that he does deal with.
For me, however, I was already working in L&D, learning and development, when I was
pregnant with him and when I had him.
And as he got older and things started to change, and he was diagnosed at around the
age of four, we started to see that it was hard for him to get services.
It was hard for him to be supported.
It was hard for him to really get the things that he needed to get from school and other
kind of settings.
And so what we wanted to do was try to create a world, a program through my business where
people who are adults who are experiencing these same things actually are supported and
don't have to struggle.
We had to call school districts and really, really rally to get him support.
And that's not something that we want people to have to experience in their workplaces,
where they go to make money and they go to be successful and they go to take care of
their families.
It's already stressful enough sometimes at work.
And so if you're not able to learn, if you're not able to get what you need, it's almost
an uphill battle that you can't really win.
Right.
And to me, it sounds like you are playing a key role in making sure that everybody's
on the same starting platform at least or getting there.
Yeah, that is absolutely the goal is to try to make sure that everybody is on as level
of a playing field as possible when they get started.
