Every once in a while, you meet someone whose business is driven by purpose rather than profit. That perfectly describes Tamakio Patterson, CEO of Jewel ABA Therapy, who joined Voices of the Village Podcast to share her remarkable journey of serving children with autism and supporting families throughout Metro Atlanta.

For Patterson, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is about much more than clinical treatment it's about giving children the tools they need to confidently navigate everyday life.

"We pretty much get children that's on the autism spectrum prepared to live in a typical world setting. We give them the tools they need to be able to go to school and function alongside their peers."
