Currently, I am completing the <strong>Learn Play Thrive Approach to Autism</strong>, further expanding my toolkit for supporting children on the spectrum.</p> <p>Though my professional roles are diverse, my greatest inspiration comes from being a sister to Abrahm, a joyful young adult with Autism. His remarkable journey continues to fuel my dedication to making a difference in the lives of children and families.</p>
