FOUNDER & AUTISM MOM

From autism mom to your family’s first call.

I help New York individuals and families of all abilities find their footing after a diagnosis, with the guidance I wish someone had given me.

The Early Days

Surrounded by Binders, Seeking Clarity

I've sat at the same kitchen table surrounded by thick state binders, wondering where to even begin. The paperwork, the waiting lists, the confusing terminology,it felt like a maze, and I didn’t know where to turn. Every form felt like a mountain to climb.

The system often feels cold and impersonal, far removed from the daily realities of raising a child with unique needs. We faced the same overwhelming questions about funding, services, and how to build a life that truly reflected our daughter's strengths and personality.

Lived Experience, Plain Language

Mastering the Maze for My Daughter

My journey through the disability services system began with a fierce determination to build a thriving life for my daughter. I learned the system piece by piece, translating complex rules into practical steps. This personal mission became my professional calling.

Now, as a trained parent advocate, NYS Self-Direction Broker, and a parent who has walked this path, I offer families a clear, jargon-free roadmap, from the first diagnosis to the right services and support, built around your loved one’s unique interests and strengths.

Our Guiding Principle

You don't need a corporate agency pushing paperwork; you need a knowledgeable partner who has walked in your shoes.
