BIOGRAPHY
"My love and dedication working with special children took flight in college where I received my Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood Development. From my volunteer experience in the community my love for special needs children and adults grew, and my desire to pursue this further followed me until I discovered The Son-Rise Program. I supported a full time Son-Rise Program for over two years. I also spent many hours volunteering my time in the fine arts community as well as other Son Rise Programs in the area. I am now in residency at the Autism Treatment Center of America as a Certified Son Rise Program Child Facilitator. Since working at the ATCA my passion for forming connections with Son-Rise Program children continues to inspire and enrich my journey and my belief in the power of love."
Quotes from Son-Rise Program parents
"Ezra absolutely adored her! She was the most winning, infectious embodiment of the 3Es I’ve ever encountered. I love watching her play the rip-tag game with Ezra and getting him to play with the cars puzzle. I thought that out of all the facilitators her games with Ezra were really involved. She was so delightful and fun. I loved watching her model for him how to say things without screaming."

"Clearly, the best friend Aditya made this week (He himself said this). If we are ever in doubt about how to play, we think it is enough to watch Kim’s video with Aditya. Her 3Es are more like 9Es! We simply lover her!"

"Kim was so passionate and energetic, watching her in the playroom was an inspiration, and her love for Jasmine and dedication to what she does really shined through. It is one of the most beautiful memories I will take home with me and into the playroom- watching her with Jasmine. A place to work towards!"
