This week, we speak with Sarah Bass and Anna Storbeck. Sarah is the Mariposa Program Director, and Anna is the H.I.V.E. Program Director here at Beyond the Spectrum.

Together, we discuss how each of these programs addresses their individual students’ needs, what parents should be aware of as their children grow older, and their collaboration with local organizations, including DD’s Miracle Minis.

To share the impact of their programs, both Sarah and Anna share their favorite success stories. Plus, Anna touches on how businesses can make smart business decisions by hiring their students.
