In 2003, at age two, a pre-school boy named Jackson Breen was diagnosed with autism. Thankfully, there was somewhere to turn for the support and help he needed to learn and grow. Jackson spent three years at KidStart receiving special education services, and is now flourishing in public school and starting third grade. Many children, like Jackson, walk through the doors of KidStart every year, receiving the special services they desperately need to help them prepare for a brighter future.

Jackson is the son of Dr. David Breen, a local pediatrician, and founder of Jackson's Team for KidStart. 

In 2011, KidStart’s current home at the Holcomb Building in Geneseo, NY will no longer be available.  Without community support and funds for a new building, children like Jackson may not be able to get the help they need locally, close to home.

Jackson’s Team is a local, grassroots effort by KidStart parents, families, friends, and employees who have come together to raise awareness and money to make our new building a reality. According to Dr. Breen, “KidStart made a miraculous difference in my son. We had a dream that he would learn to talk and go to public school, and that dream came true thanks to KidStart.”
