We are proud to offer our services in the setting that benefits each child the most. These settings include but are not limited to our clinic, the child's home, daycare or school. My philosophy on treating pediatric developmental delays is simple: Each child is unique; therefore, the pediatric therapy must be customized for each child for maximum results. The family must be involved and be willing to carryover the techniques learned in the therapy sessions into the child's daily routine. A multi-disciplinary collaborative approach to pediatric therapy is the best way to overcome all aspects of a child's developmental issues.

Destiny Foundation of Central Florida, Inc. was founded in September 2001, by Pastor Scott George with a new and innovative food assistance program to financially assist the "working poor" in Central Florida. What is now the Greater Orlando Food Outreach began to offer a long-term food subsidy program directly to families in the community just days before the tragedy of September 11th. Thousands of families have joined the Greater Orlando Food Outreach, a program that provides them with access to high quality foods for a small contribution per item. In 2006, as part of our Healthy Families Initiative, staple foods such as eggs, bread, produce, and other nutritional items became available at no cost to all members. This "hand up," as opposed to a "handout," restores dignity to families by actively involving them in their road to self-sufficiency.

Disabilities Consulting

Seving Central Florida and Families Everywhere

Getting Results for the One You Love Together We CAN Make a Difference Hundreds of disabled individuals fall through the cracks of the system, do not qualify or are denied the services they need. Caregivers have no where to turn to help them achieve results. Disabilities Consulting specializes in assisting families who have dependents with special needs. We take a personal hands-on approach to your challenges. We provide Consulting Services, Advocating Services, Coaching Services and Public Speaking. We are not funded by or work for any government, state or local agencies. We are hired by you and work for you and your family.
