My mission is to enhance every child's life by improving their function and independence in daily activities across all environments.

My philosophy is that each and every child is unique and has special abilities.  All children can and will learn new skills when given the opportunity to do so.

“A hundred years from now

it will not matter what my bank account was,

the sort of house I lived in,

or the kind of car I drove...

but

the world may be different

because I was important

in the life of a child."
