Co-Founder
Lidy Kerr was born in Brazil and moved to the United States in 2008, where she built a life grounded in family, resilience, and service. She is married to a supportive husband, and together they are raising two wonderful children.
Lidy’s professional journey began as a parent advocate. When one of her children entered preschool, she quickly recognized that traditional teaching methods did not meet his learning needs. This led to multiple school transitions in search of an environment that truly supported his strengths. Navigating these challenges opened Lidy’s eyes to the barriers faced by neurodivergent learners in educational systems that are often not inclusive or accommodating.
Motivated to better support her child and others like him, Lidy pursued formal education in behavior analysis. Although her child is not autistic, this journey deeply shaped her understanding of neurodiversity and strengthened her commitment to inclusive, individualized support. She began working in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in 2019 through internships and hands-on experience, applying behavioral principles not only in clinical settings but across many aspects of daily life.
Lidy earned her degree in Behavior Analysis in 2021 and has continued to expand her professional experience. In 2023, she joined a small ABA clinic dedicated to serving underserved and low-income communities, further reinforcing her passion for equity, access, and ethical care.
Today, Lidy brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her nonprofit work, advocating for compassionate, inclusive, and high-quality services for children and families of all abilities.
