Thank you to these staff members for Maximizing Those Who Struggle, Embracing Those Who Love and Fulfilling Those Who Serve.
If you were to see me outside of Cornerstone, I would either have a book in my hands or earbuds for music in my ears. I love learning and seeing everything there is to see, whether that is by watching a documentary on squids, listening to a podcast on art history or taking a ride on the Seattle Ferris Wheel. I think life is meant for exploring, and that is what I want to do.
The best part of working at cornerstone is being able to get in touch with my fun side! Working with kids is the only job where you get to talk about Power Rangers all day and play Mario Kart.
My kids teach me something and amaze me every day. I enjoy watching them experience life. I’m grateful to just be a part of their journey.
Elizabeth Robertson, ABA Therapist
I love to work on my garden, tend to my house plants and watch good tv shows like New Girl over and over again.
One dream manager goal I’ve met since working at Cornerstone is buying a house with my roommate in the town where we went to college.
My favorite place in the world is New York City! I love going to New York because it is such an amazing city with so much history and culture. Every time I go, I have amazing new experiences.
I enjoy watching my clients learn and grow. It’s an honor knowing I’m helping them make that progress, as well.

Accessible and Inclusive Playgrounds in Indianapolis
Accessible and Inclusive Playgrounds in IndianapolisExcerpt from Indy’s Child Magazine: “With warmer weather right around the corner, it’s time to get out and enjoy some fresh air. Thankfully, there are plenty of options for families with children of all ages and abilities to choose from — and places where parents can keep those runners contained. Which means not only will the children be having fun, but parents and caregivers can relax a little and have fun, too.” Find out which inclusive local parks were selected in their blog here.
