Movin’ Out, Inc. partners with people with disabilities, their families, and their allies, to create and sustain community-integrated, safe, affordable homes.
Access to safe, quality, affordable housing, and the support needed to stay there for many years, are among the most important economic and social conditions that affect health outcomes.
Since 1995, Movin’ Out has worked to improve housing access and support, helping to build healthier, more resilient communities.
We work with people across the state of Wisconsin who meet income, disability, or veteran eligibility criteria to find homes that meet their preferences and needs—safe, affordable homes that are part of ordinary neighborhoods.
With assistance and resources from Movin’ Out, people with disabilities, veterans, and others can purchase or rent affordable, accessible homes of all types that form the foundation for success in other areas of life.

As a psychotherapist, I support people in recovering from stress and trauma, in developing a sense of purpose, in building positive and supportive relationships, and in living a fulfilling life. I believe that each person has access to a wealth of knowledge about how to grow and heal. That wisdom may be accessed through nature, body-based interventions, horses, EMDR therapy, or a variety of other tools. Ultimately, I facilitate my client's access to their own inherent, natural wisdom.
Accessibility: I provide counseling in spoken English, American Sign Language, and Spanish. I am a flexible communicator for people whose first language is not English.
Captions and transcripts are provided in English for videos and images. Vlogs in ASL are are in production to be included in the Blog. If something is not accessible, please notify me.

Having a child with special health care needs sets parents on a different journey than the one that was originally expected. Fortunately, many parents have “gone before” and can be a source of strength, direction and empowerment. Through a one-on-one match, Parent to Parent of Wisconsin pairs parents in need of guidance with a trained Support Parent who has walked a similar path. Like each family, every match is unique.
At Parent to Parent of Wisconsin, we help parents find a one-to-one connection with a trained Support Parent, who knows firsthand about the feelings and realities that come with having a child with special needs. No parent should feel alone. Ever.
No provider referral is necessary. Any parent of a child with special needs who is interested can self-refer on our website.
For Spanish-speaking parents: Our program coordinator is bilingual and we have some trained Support Parents who speak Spanish.
This is our Next Steps Guide in Spanish. Download at the link below.

All children experience the world differently, and those differences are even greater for autistic children. As a parent or caregiver of a child with autism (or as someone who knows a person with autism), your understanding and support can help ease daily challenges…while celebrating the uniqueness of all children.
This site has videos, articles, activities, printables, and interactives.
Los niños perciben el mundo de maneras diferentes. Esas diferencias son aún mayores para los niños autistas. La comprensión y el apoyo de los padres o cuidadores del niño o de alguien que conoce a una persona autista, pueden ayudar a manejar los desafíos diarios y a celebrar la singularidad de cada niño.
