The Story of "Will“ Our Name Inspiration. Will's Way was inspired by our friend, Will. When he was 18 months old, Will had only 5 words in his vocabulary. He displayed many tell-tale signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder such as spinning and arm flapping. He was not able to self-regulate his moods and behavior. His frustration with his inability to communicate effectively led to tantruming and oppositional behavior. At the age of 3, Will as diagnosed with autism. Will, however, is much more than a child with autism. Will is an artist. His talent for drawing allows not only for artistic expression but also for emotional expression. He expresses his frustrations, joys, fears and current pop culture obsessions through his art. He loves to make movies on the computer and set them to music to the delight of the people around him. Will is a happy boy. Now fully verbal, he loves to laugh and make others laugh too. Through intervention techniques, such as those used by the Will's Way treatment team, Will has learned ways to redirect his frustrations appropriately. He has learned self-calming techniques. He participates in social skills programs that are teaching him how to interact with peers appropriately.Will's intervention programs have evolved along with him. While speech and occupational therapies helped him to catch up verbally and physically early on, social skills programs and behavioral intervention programs are now guiding him through his elementary school years. Inspired by Will's journey, our mission is to help all children unlock their unique gifts and reach their full potential.
