Kathleen with parent Mary Kotch

"In 2006, my 18-month-old son was diagnosed with autism. He was nonverbal, missing milestones, and slipping in an era when resources were scarce.

Kathleen was the Pre-K teacher who welcomed my son into her classroom and never said no. Sixteen years later, she's still in his corner.

Today, that little boy is going to grad school, is a second-degree black belt, and living independently."
