Kim is driven to help individuals—and those who care for them—understand the root cause of dysfunction, so attention can be shifted from blame to solutions.   Kim has one son who struggled with attention and learning difficulties, one son with CHARGE Syndrome, and a daughter for whom learning and “being” is relatively easy.  Kim’s professional background includes the fields of pediatric nursing, behavioral science, and deafblindness.
