My Story…
From birth our son John was behind on hitting his milestones, walking late, not crawling or sitting up on time, and we knew there was something going on. When he was three and still not talking we got him signed up for pre-school, discovered he had a visual impairment and level one autism with a speech and motor delay. We were worried he would never be able to speak. But after lots of speech therapy, occupational therapy, and even physical therapy.. we can't get him to stop talking now! Today John is 12 years old, he attends the Phoenix School of Discovery who is able to accommodate his social differences and help where he needs it the most. He is able to write using speech to text technology and is reading at 4th grade level! His IQ is very high and he can tell you some of the most creative stories and really cool facts about his interests. We would love to raise enough money to help kids come as far as he has!
