Gayle Woodruff
The co-founder of A Hope for Autism is Gayle Woodruff. Gayle got the inspiration for A Hope for Autism after searching for help for her son, Miles. Gayle searched the country for treatment options for her son. She was determined to make a difference for her son. She has received intensive training in how to work with her son, as well as how to manage a team of professionals that work with her son. She co-sponsored three seminars for the Northwest by bringing the CEO of the Option Institute to Portland, Eugene, and Seattle. After researching additional options for her son, Gayle has successfully maintained an effective treatment program that is fun and effective!
