Hi there! I’m Kathy Brill.
I was a professional in the field of education and disabilities prior to the birth of my youngest daughter. I understood the role of professionals, but had not experienced the role of parenting a child who has a disability.
I now hold the unique perspective of being able to understand both viewpoints, which led me to successfully problem-solve and create numerous solutions to barriers facing people with disabilities so they can live productively in their communities.
My youngest daughter, now 30 years old, uses a power wheelchair and numerous additional technological and personal supports, has a job, friends, and lives in her own home. We did our best to raise her to be self-determined, and now she is indeed! If you are interested in learning about the thoughts, steps, and strategies that helped us to work toward that goal, please contact us!

Cool Timeline
Our daughter, Alexa, was born 3 months premature. I had no idea at the time how much she would teach me and help me grow as a person!
