The Rad Lab | Helping Bring Your Vision Into Reality
The Rad Lab aligns with numerous specialists and connects them to their collaborative projects. Their primary focus is to create high-quality programs that enhance the lives of neurodiverse individuals and their loved ones.
The Leader of Rad Lab, Cathy Gott
Cathy Gott, MPA, serves as the President and aligns herself with specialists in various fields to actualize visions through teamwork. With a background in social services since 1984, Cathy’s journey took a pivotal turn when her son Danny was diagnosed with autism in 1993. Motivated by the lack of support, she co-founded Education Spectrum in 1996, offering social skills programs for children with autism. This endeavor not only helped others but also provided healing for Cathy’s family.
In 2007, she established Danny’s Farm, providing a nurturing environment for individuals with developmental differences.
Currently, Cathy focuses on consulting for organizations, emphasizing affordable housing and better employment opportunities for adults with developmental differences, all while continuing to travel with her husband for his baseball coaching career.
