Our Founders

Cindy and Amy bring over 30 years of professional and parental experience in working with children with disabilities.  As parents of teenagers with Autism Spectrum Disorders, they noticed an absence of support to help children transition from childhood to adulthood.  MSF bridges the gap by developing skills used by both children and young adults as they progress through the different stages of life.
