Stewart & Jessica Share A Son Parker
The pair, Stewart and Jessica, is blessed with one son named Parker.
When he was a toddler, Parker was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum.
Initially, Parker did not want to interact with others and avoided eye contact and social interaction.
Everything changed when Parker began receiving ABA (applied behavior analysis) therapy.
According to Jessica, Parker reacted to all of the treatments and therapy sessions and has been doing great.
When Parker was diagnosed initially, Jessica & Stewart were unsure whether he would ever be able to speak.
Jessica considers the resources available at Crossroads has been a lifesaver for Parker.
In addition, she actively supports CASP (Council of Autism Service Providers) while sharing Parker’s journey with other families to offer the best avenues of support.
