Natalie here and to best serve your lifestyle, let me first tell you a little bit more about myself. I am an autism sibling, co-guardian to my little sister, (I’ll share that story in week one’s video) founder of Pieces of Inspiration and I have had the honor of being part of the lives of hundreds of families, impacting the developmental progress of their children over the past 10 years.

 

I have worked with children of all-abilities, specializing in Autism. From the inspiration of my life story being an autism sibling to my beautiful, adult sassy little sister Angie, to working with children in multiple settings such as camp, school, therapy, leisure activities and in the home environment; and throughout the years I have found that positively impacting the home has been my most impactful service, which is why I want to share this with you.

 

At the age of 19, I began my entrepreneurial career by assisting children with special needs in a generalized academic setting, helping them become independent to the point where the need of a personal aide was no longer necessary. I worked with NFL and MLB families to help their children in both the academic and home setting. One of the most important lessons I taught families was how impactful it is to generalize therapeutic, academic and developmental goals in both the home and academic setting. I coached families to create a foundation of learning for their child’s developmental progress.
