Description
One of the things that continues to amaze and inspire me on this journey of being the parent to a child with special needs, is the incredibly kind and compassionate people we meet along the way. The people who were not brought into this community through the birth of a child, but came here intentionally, with purpose and an enormous heart. * Patrice Carroll is the director of PWS services for both children and adults at Latham Centers. Patrice, co-chair of the PWSA (USA) Professional Providers Board as well as a member of the International Prader Willi Syndrome Organisation Professional Providers and Caregiver’s Advisory Board and has over 20 years of experience working with children and adults diagnosed with PWS. * Katrina Fryklund Started at Latham Centers in 2013 as Development Associate, and was promoted to Director of Development.
