Meet The Inspirations behind the dream

Gabriella's Journey

Gabriella, the heart and soul behind Sensory Escape, has an inspiring story that fuels our mission. Diagnosed with autism at the age of 3, Gabriella faced significant challenges early on. She was unresponsive to her name and struggled with communication, making it difficult for her to connect with the world around her. However, with the help of early interventions and therapies, Gabriella’s journey took a remarkable turn. By the age of 4, she began to read, showcasing her incredible potential and resilience. One of the most profound breakthroughs came through her love for music. Gabriella discovered that music was not just a source of joy but also a powerful tool for communication. Through music therapy, she learned to express herself and connect with others in ways that words alone could not achieve. Gabriella’s progress and her unique way of interacting with the world inspired the creation of Sensory Escape. Her story is a testament to the power of early intervention and the importance of providing tailored support for neurodiverse children. At Sensory Escape, we have implemented music therapy as a core part of our programs, recognizing its profound impact on children like Gabriella. Gabriella’s journey continues to inspire us every day, reminding us of the potential within every child and the importance of creating spaces where they can thrive.

Bruce’s commitment goes beyond just physical labor. His passion for creating a nurturing environment for neurodiverse children is evident in every detail of Sensory Escape. His hard work and dedication have not only built the physical space but have also laid the foundation for a supportive community. As a devout father, Bruce’s love for his family shines through in everything he does. His role in bringing Sensory Escape to life is a testament to his belief in the mission and his desire to make a positive impact on the lives of neurodiverse children and their families. Bruce’s contributions remind us of the importance of dedication, hard work, and the power of a supportive family. His efforts have truly made Sensory Escape a place where dreams come to life.

Arianna's Role

Arianna, Gabriella’s twin sister, is the unsung hero and the backbone behind Sensory Escape. From an early age, Arianna has embraced the role of being her sister’s keeper, a value deeply instilled in her. Her unwavering love and support have been instrumental in helping Gabriella navigate the world. Arianna has always been there to help Gabriella understand and engage with the “typical” aspects of life. Her patience, empathy, and dedication have made a significant difference in Gabriella’s journey. Whether it’s through shared activities, gentle encouragement, or simply being a constant presence, Arianna’s influence has been profound. Her bond with Gabriella is a beautiful testament to the power of sibling love and support. Arianna’s role in Gabriella’s life has not only helped her sister thrive but has also inspired the inclusive and supportive environment we strive to create at Sensory Escape. Arianna’s story reminds us of the importance of family and the incredible impact that love and understanding can have on a child’s development. She truly embodies the spirit of Sensory Escape, making her an integral part of our mission.
