Founder

I’m Dani, a mom of three beautiful children- my 7-year old son James, my 5-year old daughter Jules and my 1.5 year old baby Jacqueline. I live on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. I spent eight years working in Media Marketing at CBS Television Network and at Condé Nast Entertainment until I decided to dedicate my time and attention to learning and advocating for my son James.

My journey began when James was four months old and was not hitting the appropriate developmental milestones. Through countless therapies and doctors appointments, It became clear that James has a Motor Planning Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, Coordination Disorder and a Language Based Learning Disability. I can proudly say that James is in first grade at a specialized school in Manhattan. The wealth of knowledge that I have gained and the professionals that I have met along the way have empowered me and made this process so special. I have become an expert in navigating the overwhelming, emotional and sometimes defeating process along this bumpy voyage.

Founder

I’m Allison, a proud and dedicated mom of three amazing kids—my 6-year-old son, Liam, and my 3-year-old twins, Emma and Dylan. I am a registered nurse with previous experience in Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Orthopedics at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I’m also a certified Birth Doula and an Infant Development Instructor for ages 0-2.

Our story began when Emma was 4 months old and not hitting her developmental milestones. It was very apparent because her twin brother was exceeding her in every category. Things really took a significant unexpected turn when my daughter Emma was diagnosed with a rare neurological genetic disorder at the age of one. This diagnosis came with additional challenges, including nonverbal communication, epilepsy, autism, global developmental delays, and issues related to muscle tone, sensory processing, motor planning and more. Navigating this journey has been a rollercoaster ride filled with ups and downs, but through blood, sweat, and tears, I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge that I’m passionate about sharing.
