What do you do when the path ahead feels impossible—and yet you know standing still isn’t an option? In this moving episode, we sit down with the founder of Pathfinders for Autism, a mother whose daughter, now 33, still cannot read, write, or be left alone—yet is thriving thanks to a powerful support network.
She shares how her personal journey led to the creation of a revolutionary nonprofit that helps families navigate the often-overwhelming maze of special needs services. From drawing logos on coffee canisters to launching a statewide movement, her story is a masterclass in resilience, resourcefulness, and refusing to give up.
Twenty-five years later, Pathfinders is still illuminating paths for families at every stage—because the needs may change, but the mission remains: no one should walk this road alone.
