Community Service

I just want to help where I can. If there is something I can do to make things a little easier for someone, then why not do it? I started small, finding ways to support kids with autism in everyday situations, and over time, those efforts grew into things like Able Bloom and other initiatives. Whether it is organizing events or helping kids build skills for the future, it all comes down to doing what I can right now.

Interviews

To make sure our programs truly help, I’ve spoken with professionals, nonprofit leaders, and families of children with disabilities. Their insights guide everything we do:

  • Dr. Roger J. Jou (Yale Child Study Center) – Stressed the need for individualized support and flexibility for autistic individuals.

  • Adella Lin (Founder, Project Ready) – Shared how to design programs that are effective, not just well-intentioned.

  • Families of neurodivergent children – Helped me understand real-world challenges and the support that makes the biggest difference.

These conversations keep our work practical and evolving. I’m always learning—and always listening.
