Kellye has lived in Wichita her
entire life. She started her career at
Heartspring almost a year and a half ago.
“A friend I went to high school with
worked here,” she said. “She kept raving
about it and telling me I should apply. I
did and now I have a career I can enjoy
every day.”
Kellye says the goals she has for the
students at Heartspring are for them to be
able to spend time in the community.
“My goal for the kids is to help them
learn to the best of their ability and to help teach them how to interact
appropriately in the community.”
Since working at Heartspring, Kellye has
learned a lot about Autism and other
aspects of children with special needs.
“I did not even know about the world of
autism before I came here. There is no
short answer for what I’ve learned here. I
learn something new every day. I do
believe the Heartspring students have
taught me to appreciate the simple things
in life, no matter how small.”
