Homer's Journey on 'Good Day Live' During Autism Awareness Month

One Family Shares the Story of Their Life with a Child who has Autism

In honor of Autism Awareness Month, we partnered with WTWO News’ “Good Day Live” on a new series to highlight the kiddos we serve and educate the public on autism spectrum disorder. Last week’s segment featured Hopebridge Founder and CCO Kim Strunk, and this week, we had the chance to share the story of an extra-special someone to all of us at Hopebridge: Homer.

From what it’s like to experience signs of autism to transforming their lives through therapy at Hopebridge, Homer’s parents, Laura and Kevin, talk about their son’s progress. Check out the “Good Day Live” piece with Hopebridge here.
