A native Vermonter born into loving families from Essex and Rutland, VT. Martha grew up in the Essex School district and is honored to give back to her community. Her autism limits her ability to speak those words but her actions speak volumes. Martha has struggled with emotional dysreglation and ABA therapy has brought her from needing physical restraints to using exercise for self-regulation. She is grateful to her community for her education from her nurturing educators and respite providers, who she loves like family. Martha's passions of connecting with her loved ones, and 'wanting to be a farmer when she grows up' built our vision. And this is still Martha's ultimate goal!
