Child advocate Geraldine Kenneally is a mother of 2 daughters. One of her daughters, Katie, is on the Autism Spectrum and Geraldine takes us on her journey from devastating diagnosis to thriving child.  She shares the traditional and holistic therapies she found to be transformational for Katie, as well as her tips for dealing with her own emotional dips. Of course, every child is unique and every journey is different, but Geraldine's wish is that her story can bring hope and inspiration to other parents.
