Who is Julee Renfroe?
Hi! Im Julee Renfroe. I am the founder of JR Spectrum Solutions.
I once found myself in that very dark and lonely place. My son is the third of our four children. By the time he was 2 years old, my concern grew a little more each day. I realized that his behavior and overall development were not typical, and I felt fearful. What could be wrong, and who could possibly help us? When would he start talking? How would he ever attend a school that I could trust would be the right fit for his needs? Why didn’t I know how to console him when he became upset? Even our pediatrician was unable to address many of my concerns. Why was it so difficult to get help and feel confident that anyone truly understood what we needed?
My son is now 34 years old and thriving. He has a job of which he is proud and at which he excels. He enjoys many friends and hobbies that he loves. He takes pleasure in cooking, reading, and working out, and he stays busy and engaged in a comfortable and productive life that satisfies him. He still has goals and dreams of things he hopes to accomplish over time, just as we all do.
I am a Registered Nurse who has specialized in Child Development and Maternal/Child Health throughout my entire nursing career of over 45 years. After my son was diagnosed with a developmental disorder at the age of 8, I became passionate about assisting other parents in obtaining early diagnoses for early intervention.
My personal journey with my son, from the initial recognition of concerns to a diagnosis and then to appropriate intervention, spanned decades. I long to help parents and caregivers avoid unnecessary delays.
There are many aspects of Autism and other developmental disorders that we still do not understand. However, one fact is clear: EARLY diagnosis leads to EARLY intervention. EARLY intervention leads to the best outcome!
For over 20 years, I have been passionate about helping parents navigate this journey. I would be honored to assist you and look forward to our first meaningful conversation, so we can begin taking steps in the right direction for you and your loved one.
