If you can dream it. You can do it.
Walt Disney
HI, I am Karen and welcome to Helper Mouse! I created HelperMouse.com out of my love ALL things Disney and years of working with families as a pediatric speech therapist. Over my 20 years as a speech therapist, I have connected with several families sharing tips and strategies of how to travel and navigate the World of Disney with a kiddo of varying needs.
The purpose of Helper Mouse is to share my love of Disney and help families with practical tips/insights as a speech therapist to make your trip a success.
