“When Megan was born, I was unprepared and totally overwhelmed. The early months of her life were filled with many trips to the doctor, unanswered questions and feelings of isolation.

By meeting other parents of children with disabilities, I began to realize that Megan was my mission. Megan has brought laughter, joy and endless love to my husband, myself, her three older brothers and those around her. She is the sparkle in our lives.”

Paula Schiedler, Co-founder DSNO
