Erik’s Story:
Eric and Sally were told by professionals that their son would never speak, communicate, or live independently. It was a statement they couldn’t accept. They decided to take a different approach and see what was out there to help their child.
They realized people need a community where they can connect with people who understand and who may be a little bit ahead in the journey. Erik came up with the idea of creating the Autism Coaching Community online platform for parents.
