Our son is nonverbal, but by his body language, we gather that he is proud, happy, he feels accepted and important, and that he belongs to an extended family – Rimland. Rimland nurtures his self-esteem, structures his daily activities, and installs goals. He used to be crabby, but now we often see him smile.

Chef Fallon will be crafting delicious meals such as meatloaf with mashed potatoes and green beans, and turkey tacos with Spanish rice and Mexican corn. For a special meal on Fridays, we will be having homemade pizzas with desserts such as marble cake. Fallon’s company is called Indecisive Eats and we are looking forward to chowing down on some delicious lunches.
