Christopher Edelman and his son Sawyer.
Meet our founder
Christopher Edelman
Christopher is the founder of Focal Point Therapeutics, a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA), and the father of an autistic son.
His professional work and experience as a parent have shaped his understanding of the neurodiverse community. He knows that support is personal: it touches family life, everyday routines, communication, and the possibilities people see for their future.
Christopher is also interested in helping people explore paths toward independence that reflect their own strengths and interests, including opportunities for creative work and entrepreneurship.
That perspective informs the purpose behind Focal Point: keeping the individual’s life, interests, and priorities in focus.
What matters
There is a person behind every goal.
Communication, participation, and independence have different meanings for different people. Those differences deserve to be understood. A conversation can begin with what matters to you and the support you’re looking for.
