Founder
ElizaBeth Wildemaan
ElizaBeth began working with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in 1987. She has worked with I/DD adults for over a decade and has raised a son with autism. Through her educational background, she has studied child and human development for over 30 years.
Knowledge of child development is also of great value when working with adults — many adults still struggle with unmet childhood developmental challenges. If these unmet stages can be identified, remedial work can help ameliorate the challenges.
