Meet Ava's Mom

Hi, I'm Tia, Ava's mom, and it is so great to meet you!

Thank you for being part of Ava’s incredible journey!  As a mother of a neurodivergent child with dyslexia and dysgraphia, I know firsthand how hard it can be to watch your child struggle. Seeing Ava face bullying and academic challenges was one of the toughest experiences of my life. But watching her overcome and transform those challenges into a mission to inspire and uplift others has been nothing short of amazing. Your belief in her vision and your support of her STEM initiatives mean the world to me. Together, you’ve helped Ava reach countless children, encouraging them to embrace their unique Genius and realize their full potential.

I want to take a moment to speak directly to parents, grand parents, or educators who might feel overwhelmed or unsure of the path forward. If you’re raising or supporting a child or children with learning differences, I understand how hard it can be. There were moments when I felt lost, defeated, and unsure of how to support Ava in the way she needed. But what I’ve learned is this: never give up.

Every child's journey is unique, and while it may not always be easy, it is filled with potential beyond what you can imagine. Don’t hesitate to ask for help, lean on your community, and seek resources that empower all children to thrive. Ava’s story is proof that when we nurture childrens' strengths and embrace their differences, they can achieve extraordinary things.

To everyone who has supported Ava, shared her message, or believed in her mission, thank you. You’re not just helping Ava—you’re helping to create a brighter future for all children, one STEM experiment at a time.
