Meet Melissa!
Mom of 6 (YES, 6!) kids, Melissa is a therapist focused on Sensory Process Disorder and the therapeutic treatments availability for kids. After founding the Sensory Kids clinic in Stamford years ago, she just opened a clinic in Wilton (which she helped design!) in partnership with The Southfield Center, offering a multi-disciplinary treatment center with access to specialists of all types. In her spare time, Melissa loves family hikes at Devil’s Den, admits to being quite shy deep down, and claims her new Dyson hairdryer was worth the splurge! In another life she’d be a full-time mom or ski bum, and places tremendous value on screen-free time for her and her kids to enjoy this fleeting time in life! Thank you Melissa for all that you do for this community!
Special Needs Spotlight – Meet Theo!
On Autism Awareness Day, we would like to celebrate another amazing child with special needs in our community – and the family who supports and loves him. Meet Theo – an amazing 9 year old boy on the Autism Spectrum. As his mom Amy so poignantly shares: “If you’ve met one person with Autism, you’ve met one person with Autism.” Every child – and family’s journey is different, but Theo’s boundless energy (with all it’s joys and challenges), his sweet demeanor, and his curiosity make him incredibly special and someone his parents and siblings learn from on a daily basis. Though life may be less predictable, the Falkenstein family is along for the ride, and what an incredible one it has been.

For those who know Halle, she is a firecracker, whose spirit and energy could make anyone’s day.
