Hi! I’m Summer, Founder & President of Parker’s Way Foundation. After our son, affectionally known as P2 was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in October 2019, I was inspired to do what I could to connect with other parents who were also navigating through an autism journey. Since then, I’ve had the honor of meeting and sharing the knowledge I’ve gained along the way with parents all across the country. I was amazed by the stories I heard from parents and the struggles our autistic children face in making friends. My husband Von and I were motivated by these stories and that of our own, to make a difference not only for our son’s life but the lives of so many other children living with autism. With the launch of Parker’s Way Foundation, we want to use this platform as an avenue to share the things we’ve learned along this journey thus far, while impacting the community in a major way through activities and events that transcend ability. We want to cultivate social engagement opportunities that are sensitive to autistic children’s needs but also presents opportunities for them to foster meaningful friendships. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60540e4d59a00c4d6672cad5/1627707598450-JJCW9MJ1OVQTUT7Q8T9L/532104F7-CAAD-44D4-B188-10D26E5ECC07.jpeg About Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.parkersway.org/donate-1 daily 0.75 2021-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60540e4d59a00c4d6672cad5/1624053992627-OV64XD8O7CAF4EIO9WPE/BD42F031-5A19-4B4B-9945-F36EFA5B345E.JPG Get Involved - Lend a Hand. “With giving, not only can you offer monetary support, but you can also donate your time, which is priceless.” If you are passionate about autism awareness and acceptance, we would love to have you volunteer.

As parents of an autistic son we know the struggles of bringing our kiddo into certain social settings . Parker’s Way Foundation seeks to provide opportunities for social interactions through play with peers in environments that are sensitive to the needs of children on the spectrum. At our play dates parents can relax and allow their child to enjoy just being a kid. Click the link below to register for our next playdate. It is our hope that as your child joins us throughout the year for our play dates, they will naturally grow their social skills and begin to make meaningful connections with their peers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60540e4d59a00c4d6672cad5/1627702669082-SKNJSP9MP02C4B6B3M41/Programs+2-3.png Programs - “P’s 2” Our “P’s 2” Healthy Food Choices Program encourages a cleaner approach to eating by providing grocery gift cards to underserved families needing extra help transitioning their autistic child to a more healthy and nutritious diet. Organic and natural foods with no preservatives or artificial colors have been shown to increase your over-all health and wellness. We all know that when we eat better we feel better. And when we feel better we have a more positive attitude thus potentially decreasing negative behaviors. Many children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder are picky eaters and don’t get the correct amount of nutrition they need. This can cause digestive issues leading to poor gut health. Choosing healthier alternatives can be hard to find and more expensive, thus making the transition a bit difficult for some families. We want to help ease the burden by giving those families looking to transition into feeding their children more healthier options a grocery gift card. We believe that once you are able find alternative healthy food items that your child actually likes, it will make it easier for you to shop for those items in the future. You will begin to eliminate many of the unhealthy items and focus on those that are good for your child’s mind and body. We believe that when you know better, you eat better! We would love to partner with neighborhood grocery stores. If you are in management and would like to partner with us on our “P’s 2” program please email us via info@parkersway.org. In addition, our goal is to partner with area nutritionists. If you are a nutritionist and would like to partner with our organization please reach out to us via the contact us link below.. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60540e4d59a00c4d6672cad5/1627704931997-85T3BXI5NYMWRZ1MOZU4/Copy+of++Programs+3.png Programs - “Parent 2 Parent” Traveling this autism journey daily can be tough. Being stuck in a space were you think no one understands your struggles, fears, and needs can leave you feeling isolated. Sometimes we just need someone to listen and validate our feelings. Our parent to parent program seeks to connect parents of children on the autism spectrum with other parents on this long road. The Parent to Parent program also helps connect parents to other non-profit organizations that have social skills groups in their child’s age range. We can all benefit from meaningful conversations and adult interactions with those who just get it. Parker’s Way Foundation encourages moms and dads alike to register for our Parent to Parent Program.
