With her former Easter Seals camp counselor Billy Coon.

Just like the teachers/counselors who bring the best out of typically developing kids, the best people who work with kids with developmental disabilities are the one’s who bring a mix of humor, energy, and passion for their students, but are still able to be tough on them when needed. Today we meet a former summer camp counselor of Maddie’s who fits all of these characteristics.

Today’s post is dedicated to all the great people who are out there helping people with disabilities. As someone who is a parent of a child on the autism spectrum, I know that gig can be a bitch some days. Just know that unlike most, you are making a difference in what you do for families all across the world.
