A Story of One Man’s Triumph
Adult Autism
On Monday, July 19, 2010, David Allen Williams began a new job. It wasn’t just any new job, it was his first job. Congratulations David, but why does this make the news? “If you could have seen from where he came, you would be totally amazed!” said Brett Chancellor, Operations Director at First Step’s Petty Center in Malvern. “When I first saw David, he was nonverbal, made no eye contact, and gave only minimal indications of his needs and wants.”

“Ellie was diagnosed with Trisomy 18 when she was five days old, and we were told at that time to expect severe, if not profound, developmental disability. We contacted First Step and received prompt, personal, step-by-step assistance in enrolling Ellie in early intervention, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy at First Step in Hot Springs.
