I'm the CEO of Mendability, a home-based autism therapy that's been the subject of a randomized controlled trial at UC Irvine. We've raised $4M to scale what works: using sensory enrichment to boost brain development and help autistic children thrive in their daily lives.

Most people think autism therapy has to be clinical and center-based. What I've learned is that parents are the most powerful teachers when they have the right tools and evidence-based approach. I built Mendability on that insight—helping families implement proven sensory strategies at home, where kids live and learn every day.
