Dr. Rabun Robertson found her true calling and passion in opening Two Thumbs Up, Inc. She grew up with a brother with a disability and she saw how a neurological or developmental difference impacts not only the family unit but the greater community. Her brother always expressed a desire to connect with more same-age peers and this is precisely what Two Thumbs Up provides. 

 

After completing a doctorate degree in occupational therapy, she moved to Atlanta to work in the autism community as a pediatric therapist. It is because of her experiences in homes, hospitals, clinics and the community that sparked her passion and desire for understanding how to provide more meaningful social opportunities to individuals on the autism spectrum. We all desire to be noticed and understood, and it is through successful, positive social interactions that we can receive more of what we really need: connection with others.
