Su viaje comenzó cuando trabajaron juntos tratando a los niños en el sistema escolar. Sintieron la necesidad de hacer más por los niños y las familias que se estaban cruzando en sus caminos. En Después de años de soñar con abrir una clínica para niños con necesidades especiales, Brandy y Jennifer decidieron hacer realidad ese sueño. En 2010 abrieron su primera clínica en Campbellsville, KY. Esto no resultó ser una tarea fácil, pero con la determinación de no rendirse nunca y la fe que podía mover montañas, su sueño se hizo realidad. Este sueño ahora se conoce como The Kid SpOt Center. "SpOt" derivado de "Terapia del habla y ocupacional". Por lo tanto, todos los SpOts a lo largo de nuestro logotipo y marca.

"Brayden never opens up to anyone. His anxiety has prevented him from social groups. Brayden has never felt comfortable or able to open up to anyone beside his immediate family, until Brittany came along. She has helped him in so many ways and has had a huge, positive influence on him. If he has a bad day at school, she makes sure she gets to see him. That means a lot to us!" -Felica Williamson 14 5 8 120 Años en negocios Clinicas Los programas Empleados felices
