“Karen was Alex's worker during a number of crucial and turbulent years for him.  He has seen many professionals and 'experts' but Karen was the only person to ever understand him and to show unique insight into the needs, challenges and difficulties he and his family experienced.  She was tireless in her pursuit of finding ways to nurture and improve Alex's life and opportunities.  Alex and ourselves had never had this unique support before, and we were so very sorry when Karen's involvement came to an end.  Thank you Karen!"
