12.26.2014 - By Jeff Stepen: Speech-Language Pathologist
Today I speak with Julie Tracy, a mother of an adult son with high functioning autism. Julie talks about the foundation her family recently started: The Julie + Michael Tracy Family Foundation. It's aim is to provide residential, social, vocational, and mental health supports to young adults with Autism. I read about Julie's work last year in a local suburban paper and knew her story would be worth sharing here. It also doesn't hurt that Julie is a speech pathologist herself!
