"Our son has Autism Spectrum Disorder," Tina said. "Albertina Kerr has made it possible for us to be a family."
A little over a year ago, Tina's son Spencer began living at one of Kerr's twenty 24-hour residential group homes for youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities, offering support and life-skills training for children and teens ages 7-18. Our homes offer a stable, safe, and nurturing environment. Children are comforted knowing they have a place to call home and can enjoy the privacy of their own bedroom. We focus on life-skill development, education, behavior management, and appropriate socialization. The staff work as team with family members, psychiatrists, therapists, and behavior support specialists to develop each child’s individual support plan and help them achieve their fullest potential.
"Having Kerr in our lives has allowed us to be parents and love our child," Tina said. "They've given us the knowledge that Spencer's safe when his emotions get the better of him, and that he is going to be okay. You can tell the staff at his home genuinely like their jobs. They make it possible for Isiah to have a good life - he's happy."
