Lee Clinic Stories

My name is Alison and this is Grace my daughter who is 24. We waited a long time to get into the Lee’s clinic and was just getting used to services and looking to explore more. I’ve always been a strong advocate for her and also determined and resourceful. I’m very disheartened by the recent cuts and lack consideration for the disabled community. It’s already hard and overwhelming to be a caregiver but then when they cut the few supports that we have, it’s almost like a stab in the back. I am very tired and exhausted and often feel lonely. I been a single parent through all this with my own health battles. I always have hope but this seems like dark times. I encourage everyone to grasp any self-care they can and look for the glimmers of hope. They may seem like firefly’s on a dark night but they are there and we have to chase something to keep going.

Hi I am a PROUD autismx2 Momma bear and to say that Lee Specialty has been a Godsend to our family is the understatement of the century. Both Colton and Victoria have been receiving services there for many years. AND they’ve become more than a clinic to us. Instead they have become LIKE FAMILY.

I am the mother of Charlie (20). He has Down syndrome. Finding an adult provider was a joke. They did not understand his needs. He finally got into the Lee Clinic. Been there about 3 years. They listened. He is no longer the moody whiney guy. His attitude is much better. He is losing weight.
WHY: because they listened.

Our son Danny has Autism and is thirty years old. He has been a patient of the Lee Specialty Clinic for ten years. Prior to becoming a patient at the clinic, Danny had to be given general anesthesia for all dental procedures, including a simple cleaning. These procedures were very frightening and uncomfortable for him, and came with the inherent risks associated with general anesthesia.
