My brother has been a medical mystery since days after he was born. Prone to seizures & a low white blood cell count, it was a lot for 13-year-old me to process. Later on he was diagnosed with ASD. I was the primary caregiver for him my entire teen life. My mom was a single mother who worked full time. I grew up in a small town, so by word of mouth other mothers reached out to me seeking help with their special needs children. I have worked with SO many special kids & loved every single one of them.

    We were so glad to have Leah's help with our daughter! She did a great job of establishing a rapport with our daughter and our daughter had a great time with her :) Leah did a great job of considering our daughter's needs and providing a warm and supportive environment. Highly recommended!
