Angel Stottle often felt like she was parenting on an island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her then-2-year-old son was nonverbal \u2014 only able to scream or cry. Goals like potty training seemed an unreachable ambition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the Munroe-Meyer Institute\u2019s Autism Care for Toddlers Clinic came into the Omaha family\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After graduating from the clinic \u2014 and receiving more care from MMI later \u2014 Von Stottle is a thriving 10-year-old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Stottles were referred to the ACT Clinic when Von was about 3 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRight off the bat, it was the most phenomenal experience ever,\u201d Stottle said. \u201cThe ACT Clinic came in, and it felt like for the first time in his life, we had help. We had resources.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Within a few months, Von was potty trained and started talking. Von\u2019s care team was \u201cexceptional\u201d at working with him, Stottle said, and quickly got him motivated to meet behavioral milestones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His graduation from the program, at age 5, was bittersweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were so happy he met all the goals, but we were sad to leave,\u201d Stottle said. \u201cIt was an overall amazing experience, and he just thrived.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stottle consulted with MMI\u2019s Psychology Department when Von was having behavioral issues at school. Together, the family and the care team worked through the issues and got him back on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a lot of families with autistic children know, it\u2019s a journey of life,\u201d Stottle said. \u201cAt every stage of the game, there\u2019s something new you\u2019re trying to navigate. The thing that\u2019s great about MMI is that I can reach out. If they think there\u2019s something that can benefit him, they can refer me and be my guide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Von is doing things his parents never thought he\u2019d achieve. He goes to school with his typical peers, can stay home alone and can make himself breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey always say early intervention is key,\u201d Stottle said. \u201cIt was key. It does take a village. The ACT Clinic truly was the biggest player in that for us. It\u2019s good to have someone in your corner, and that\u2019s been Munroe-Meyer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
