Our story

Every neurodivergent child deserves timely and effective support unique to them

“Working as a behavioral consultant for many years, I noticed that many families, especially immigrants, had a hard time finding effective and timely support that met their child’s needs. That’s why I started JOY back in 2017, to help families get the best support for their child and to make the journey as easy as possible.”

- Rosa Gonzales (Founder), 2017
