In a conversation made possible by listeners like you, Amy shares the story of how medical experts wrote off her son Jacob – but she refused to accept it. Instead, she gave up everything to help him. And along the way, she developed a method that’s not only helped Jacob thrive, it today helps hundreds of other kids develop at their school, Jacob’s Ladder.

  • What happened on the day Amy walked off her job to care for Jacob full-time 
  • How her work with Jacob started in the kitchen 
  • The first child Amy assisted other than her own son (and how it grew to more than 4,000 kids to date) 
  • The first thing children with neurodevelopmental disorders need 
  • Jacob’s life today 
  • A story showing why hard things are worth persevering through 
  • What keeps Amy from becoming exhausted
