How Beyond Words was Born

In 2019, I became a mom to a beautiful, amazing, and brilliant son who happens to be nonspeaking and autistic. He changed the way I see the world, and the way I see inclusion.

Through our experiences, I saw the gaps in how communities and workplaces support individuals with diverse sensory needs. I also saw incredible opportunities to do better. I truly believe that when people know better, they do better — and that belief became the heart of Beyond Words.

Beyond Words was born from both love and purpose: to help organizations build cultures where everyone, of all abilities and neurotypes, feels they belong. Because when we create environments that embrace and empower all people, we don’t just strengthen our teams and businesses, we strengthen our communities.

Belonging goes beyond words.
