She has worked in long term care, general hospital medicine, and homecare, but her true passion is to help families with special needs children. In 2002 Lisa’s son was diagnosed with Autism. Lisa is the former director of a church-based special needs program where she developed programs and curriculum. She also assisted in the organization of a local special needs summit, speaking and creating a “reflection room” for parents. Lisa and her husband are grateful for the progress their son has made and have a strong desire to share their moments of success with other parents.
