Episode #042: Jackie Ceonzo: A Hero Serving Severe Autism in NYC

If Jill were to create a pantheon of Autism Gods, Jackie Ceonzo would be right there in the center. She is the rare autism mom who struck out to create recreational and enrichment classes and activities for children and adults with severe forms of autisms. Including "the biters," as Jackie puts it. The kids who routinely get rejected from other special needs programs because of their behaviors. The kids who cost the most money. Jackie is a force of nature who founded SNACK*, a program located in midtown Manhattan, where clients can access a wide variety of options and "Snacktivities," including swim, art, music, yoga, soccer and cooking lessons. The ratio is typically 1:1 depending on client needs. It's a rare gem that should be available, well, everywhere, but she faces many obstacles, including discriminatory policies that penalize programs for those with severe autism, and the need to raise a lot of money to cover the considerable costs.This is a can't-miss episode!Links:SNACK* NYC: https://www.snacknyc.com
