Autism is a condition that can elicit a wide range of emotions, from fear and confusion to compassion and concern. For those living with autism and their families, the challenges can feel insurmountable, with daily tasks becoming overwhelming. But amidst the difficulties, there is hope.
Organizations like KGH Autism Services are dedicated to supporting individuals with autism and their families, providing essential resources and guidance to help them navigate this complex and often intimidating journey. Through their unwavering commitment and tireless efforts, they offer a glimmer of light in what can feel like an endless tunnel of darkness.
Kim’s entrepreneurial journey began when she was a 19-year-old sophomore in college, in need of money to support her late-night studying and pizza habit. She found a flier on her psychology bulletin board that said “work with a boy with autism – $8 per hour.”
Despite her lack of understanding about autism, she considered the opportunity to be valuable in comparison to the library offering just a little over $4, so this would provide her with a significant financial benefit. Upon first meeting, Kim was touched by the little boy’s struggles and the family’s gratitude for her help. That moment changed her life, and she began to volunteer with organizations that served children with autism.
What’s more, Kim started KGH Autism Services with a mission to provide responsive care and support for families impacted by autism. Today, KGH Autism Services is a results-driven therapy center and the biggest autism care provider in the North Shore area. They have earned the Behavioral Health Center of Excellence distinction by excelling in clinical quality, parent satisfaction, and quality of staff.
Kim is incredibly proud of creating an ethical, client-oriented, and employee-focused company from the ground up. She loves what she does and is honored to be able to help support the clients.
