"There needs to be a lot more emphasis on what a child CAN do instead of what he cannot do." Temple Grandin
Meet Emmett
Emmett is a 14 year old boy living with Profound Non-verbal Autism and Intellectual Disability. He also fits into the small percentage of individuals with aggressive physical behaviors that cause harm to either himself or the people around him. He enjoys playing ice hockey, listening to music, outdoor walks in nature, baking, crafting and painting. The behaviors associated with his autism entered him into crisis in July 2021. After being denied care from over 30 psychiatric med stabilization units, Emmett became a hostage to the failing mental system and remained in a medical hospital for 123 days.

Emmett's Art Gallery...
Each unique piece of art is decided on by Emmett and he is proud of his art when he completes a painting. The art ranges from holiday images, to flowers, to animals and objects that spark his interest.
Each unique piece of art represents a place on Emmett’s Journey where joy has replaced frustration and hope replaces defeat.
