When Judah was 6 we began our journey with occupational therapy. Cassie Wilcox has been a constant in our lives for over 4 years working with us to learn and build strategies to better interact with our son. When we met Cassie she was working at Children's Therapy Network and now she has since moved to Milwaukee to be closer to family and has started her own practice called The Wishing Well OT. This is the story of how my family got involved within the special needs community and the impact great people like Cassie have had on our lives. My wife RuthAnn Pometto does a great job telling our story. Both Children's Therapy Network and The Wishing Well OT are great resources for families seeking OT. They both have a family first approach and take the time to bring parents up to speed and work with them find productive solutions to day to day challenges. PM me if you would like a referral or please reach out to either directly!

It’s been a year since a Kaukauna-based company shared its plans to offer a new housing option in the area. At first it was the bare bones of an idea, but by early this year Seniors First Remodeling showcased an initial model of a Linked Living Home. Now, they have families putting them to use.

July 26th marks the 30th Anniversary of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA). CRN had planned a statewide event to celebrate this monumental legislation. COVID-19 may have impacted our ability to have this event in its original form but we still had the opportunity to interview Dr. Temple Grandin, National Autism Icon and Nancy Gianni, founder of GiGi's Playhouse, Inc. It was a great opportunity to learn from these great leaders. Attached is the link to the interview. I hope it brings you some value in these uncertain times!
