Our Founder's Story

Nikody Keating, Founder & CEO: My son Owen is autistic, and had a history of experiencing absence seizures when first entering kindergarten. In the first four hours of his first day of school my wife got a call wanting to setup a meeting. Within two weeks that meeting occurred where we were pushed to move him out of his general education classroom. Within two months he was spending the majority of his time in the isolated learning environment. It wasn't until his first IEP meeting that I realized something was broken. During his first school evaluation the team had documented Owen having significant symptoms of absence seizures, but they had never communicated those back to us. After receiving the data, Owen’s neurologist was able to prescribe a change in medication to treat Owen’s seizures. I knew there had to be a better way to capture information that would improve Owen's educational outcome and allow everyone to improve his overall potential.
