What a blessing to be part of a mission that wants to help bring much needed services to the adult special needs population in DFW, TX. Watching the vision of TTC become a reality has all been by the Grace of God. When our son aged out of special services at 22, it was astonishing the lack of day programs in the area that continue teaching valuable life skills. Our son needed to continue on the journey of learning much needed skills in communication, independent living, social and vocational. Tracking and measuring data on these skill sets is crucial to teach appropriate goals. It has been an incredible journey raising a special needs son and overseeing his home ABA program and training staff for the last 15 years. As President, Angela will oversee TTC growth and report to the Board of Directors.
Angela's full time job is with ATI Physical Therapy for the last five years and currently serves as the Manager of Sales for TX/NM. She has been in Rehabilitation Services for the last 15 years. She is excited to help grow this mission since it is near and dear to her heart.
