MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. -- Tommy Ney, 21, rolled an exercise ball back and forth to his caregiver, Ed Calvin, on a recent Thursday afternoon at a physical therapy room.
While it seemed so simple, the action brought a smile to the face of Tommy's mother, Christy Ney, of Overland.
"I didn't know what we'd do when Tommy graduated from SSD's Neuwoehner School this spring," Ney said. "He has severe autism, and his behaviors are too disruptive for him to be in a sheltered workshop or other day programs. But MAAP will give him a stimulating environment and consistency."
