| Kim is passionate about helping individuals—and those who interact with them—understand the root cause of dysfunction, so attention can be shifted from whose fault it is, to finding ways of improving function. Kim has one son who struggled with attention and learning difficulties, one son with CHARGE Syndrome, and a daughter for whom learning and “being” is relatively easy. | ||
