Respite caregiver Gina Grady, left, engages with Abbie Kitchen, right, in a sensory exercise by throwing a ball around with her family. Abbie has been seeing Gina and her husband, Phil, at their house on Lombard Drive for nearly a year and receives support for her Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). Gina has been helping guide children with RAD for 12 years and said she hopes to get Abbie more involved with outdoor sensory activities once the weather warms up.
