 More devastating than you imagine.

Today is For most of us, it's just another day. But for the kids who suffer the effects of neurological disorders, it's a day of pain, rejection and humiliation. For their families, it's a day of heartbreak. And for the Joshua Center, is another exciting day of "roll up your sleeves" dedication to provide support to these kids and their families.

The Joshua Child and Family Development Center is a non-profit organization that provides programs designed to improve the lives of individuals and families living with Tourette Syndrome, Asperger Syndrome, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and their Associated Disorders through research, education, social and clinical programs.

We are making a difference! Since 1996, we have impacted the lives of countless thousands. And now, armed with our new Web site and a revitalized mission and vision, we are making dramatic strides to increase our outreach to support the ever-growing population of those affected. 

Having experienced first hand the devastation and pain that comes to children and families affected by neurological disorders, I promised to devote the rest of my life to this work. Watching so many of the kids I worked with become successful young adults is what it’s all about. Please read the excerpts from the following two testimonial letters. These and many other such letters can be found in the member area.  Sincerely, Becky
