Our Story

My daughter, Ashley, was diagnosed as PDDNOS (which is on the autistic spectrum) at 3 years of age. She is 12 years old now and has become my greatest teacher. I have spent the greater part of her life converting typical - regular education toys, magazines and coloring books to fit her special needs. I was blessed to learn special ways of communicating with her after many therapists in a variety of treatment programs that contributed to the vision of HOPELights™ special needs magazine for children.

It is through this vision and mission that we found hope not only for ourselves, but for the rest of the world. HOPELights™ is a new combination of very traditional techniques that speak to the hearts and minds of those operating on a unique bandwidth. Our goal is to see smiles erupt from children coast to coast, country to country and from sea to shining sea. Nothing more, nothing less.

We don't intend for this publication to reinvent the wheel, it is a supplement... an enjoyable one, to all of what you and your academic support teams are doing already for your child. I know in my heart that every life we touch will bring about the glow of hope, which in turn, will provide someone else some hope. There are just a few things I know after all these years and it is this: at the end of the day we have only a few things... our children, our word and a bucket of hope.

I do promise that we are here, everyday, and hearing all the words you say and all of those you don't.
We hear your child, with or without word articulation.
We hear the world and want to share some of the hope we have found.

Please help me celebrate the joy of HOPELights™!
