Hi, I’m Deb!

​​​​​​I‘ve been on a journey that started on March 24, 2000.This was the day we received our first child as foster to adoptive parents. Our life was suddenly challenged with many unknowns and it took us 6 years before we even had a diagnosis to help guide us toward the best resources!

So many times of feeling completely alone, without the right tools. 

I’ve experienced first hand going shopping to get the much needed groceries only to once again abandon my cart and head home with NO groceries-because once again, the meltdown was way too intense to even think about standing in the checkout line.

Or sending my son to school in the brand new shirt and having him return with holes chewed in it due to his sensory needs. 

I’ve experienced countless meltdowns in public.

"Deb White worked as an educational assistant in my classroom. I have personally observed her work to build relationships with students of all abilities. She helped guide students in a way that helps them reach their full potential. Deb knows how to set high expectations that are achievable for the students she works with. Deb has years of valuable experience working in a school setting and years of more valuable experience in her own home. Deb has a heart for children and families.

In my time working with Deb, she shared countless stories of her experiences raising children and working with families. Deb knows the struggles of raising a child with autism. Deb knows what it is like to have a child melting down in a store. She has seen the fruits of her hard work in her own home. Deb wants families to know that they are not alone. Deb’s desire to see families succeed with her practical experience makes her a valuable resource for families."

“Deb worked as an educational assistant in my high school aged special education classroom. She is full of knowledge from not only working with a diverse population, but also raising a son with autism. Deb has the perspective from school experiences and home life reality. One of the many qualities Deb obtains is thinking of new ideas on the spot. In any situation, she is able to come up with a solution to try. These solutions have helped students learn things their parents didn’t know if they’d ever be able to accomplish. For example, day by day Deb helped a student become comfortable enough to sit on a swing, to now asking for help to be pushed higher. She is patient, caring, and hard working. Deb’s wealth of knowledge and experiences will help families put the pieces together to ensure their child reaches their full potential."
