About this episode
Luv, Michael and USAutism Homes Ministry Model Spotlight: Meeting Challenges with Innovation
When Dr. Lisa Liberatore was faced with an uncertain future for her teenaged son with Autism a few years ago, she, her husband, and their church family met their challenges with patience, love, and innovation resulting in the foundation of two non-profit organizations. Luv, Michael provides meaningful employment for adults with Autism, and USAutism Homes operates in partnership with the Dormition of the Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church in Southampton, NY to provide alternative housing opportunities for adults on the Autism Spectrum.
Presvytera Melanie speaks with Dr. Liberatore and Fr. Constantine Lazarakis who share how these ministries developed in partnership with the parish, how individuals and parish families can currently tap into their resources, and their hopes and visions of replicating these ministries throughout our country and beyond.
