We’re excited to share a NEW communication board at the Georgetown Park Playground! This inclusive addition gives children and adults another way to express themselves, connect with others, and enjoy their time at the playground.

A huge THANK YOU to The Village Autism Dads ATL for sponsoring this wonderful addition to our park! We’re grateful for community partners who help us create spaces where everyone can play, communicate, and belong. ❤️

Next time you’re at Georgetown Park, be sure to check it out! This makes the 4th communication board in Dunwoody parks. 🌳 Channing’s Joy

We were thrilled to be a part of the 28th Annual Blue Ribbon Horse Show. Therapeutic riding has been so fun and regulating for Channing and a bonus when his sister was able to join him for the fun. 🐴🥰

Wings of Eagles is truly one of the most special places on earth. So thankful for every opportunity they give families like ours. This was our Kentucky Derby. 🐎 🩵

At our spelling lesson yesterday, I received this message. Ryan spent 30 minutes of his session earlier in the day spelling this message for us.

This was exactly the WHY. Thank you, Ryan, for expressing your beautiful thoughts with me and with Channing. He lit UP when I read this message to him…be still my heart.

“Community doesn’t come easy for us. It’s rare to be surrounded by so many who get us. I worry about my body’s regulation in public. However, I attended A Walk for Joy and was able to showcase my spelling to so many. These are ripples of change. I want to tell you, Channing’s Joy that you have lived up to your name. My name is Ryan and I’m now bursting open with JOY. Thank you!”
