As Dakota wraps up his eighth birthday celebration, we are thankful for not just the milestones he has achieved but also the joy and laughter he brings to our lives every day. We remain committed to advocating for his needs and ensuring he has access to every opportunity that will help him flourish.
Dakota’s progress has been remarkable, and it fills our hearts with joy. The music therapy sessions funded through the Suzanne Tyner Autism Assistance Fund have not only improved his communication skills but have also helped him express his emotions in ways we never thought possible. Each week, we witness his enthusiasm as he eagerly anticipates his time at Heartstring Melodies.
The incredible staff there has tailored their approach to suit Dakota’s unique needs, creating a safe and encouraging environment for him to thrive. The scholarship has allowed us to focus on his development without the stress of financial strain, giving us peace of mind to concentrate on his growth.
We are immensely grateful for the support of Avenues for Autism and the Susanne Tyner Fund. It has made a profound difference in Dakota’s life and our family as a whole. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for him and hope that more children can benefit from such invaluable resources. Thank you for making a significant impact on our lives!
