I am a former nurse, now a homeschooling mom of ten kids. I have nine sons and one daughter, with ages ranging from 16 years old down to 18 months. Our entire family is considered neurodivergent and six have been diagnosed with autism. One is 2E, while the other five are profoundly affected.<\/p><p>I have been passionate about homeschooling and helping others with whatever they might be struggling with on their journey to educate outside of the public school system. As the various diagnoses have rolled in for our family over the years, I have also become absolutely passionate about advocating for other autism families, especially the ones who feel as though they are struggling alone on the more profound aspect of the spectrum. I am convinced we can move some huge mountains if we can help connect autism families to resources, opportunities, and community that understands their experiences.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9a12e9d\" data-id=\"9a12e9d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e85363e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e85363e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"666\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/cultivatinghopefarms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image7-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-255\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cultivatinghopefarms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image7-1.jpg 666w, https:\/\/cultivatinghopefarms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image7-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cultivatinghopefarms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image7-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cultivatinghopefarms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/image7-1-500x500.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6227af1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6227af1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Alyson Beytien, BCBA, MS-Autism, LBA<\/h5><p><strong>Board Member<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7fef7b0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"7fef7b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1341\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1341\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Bio<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1341\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1341\"><p>Alyson Beytien is a popular speaker, trainer and mother of 3 young adult sons\u2019 with autism.

Ash. I just finished my sophomore year at Grand View University. I am working towards my Bachelors of Social Work degree, with two minors in Family Studies and Psychology, with full intent to achieve my Master&#8217;s next. In my free time, I love to be outdoors camping &amp; fishing. I also enjoy meeting new people and spending time with family and friends!<br \/><br \/>I have always had a big heart for our friends with special needs and autism. I spent many years volunteering for my local Special Olympics group and assisted in one on one mentoring throughout high school with a friend of mine who has Down Syndrome. Growing up on a farm here in Iowa allows me to bring my experience and love for animals to CHF to better help our friends connect with our animals! I am excited to bring new insight to the board and help grow CHF on its already successful path!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-606a3c9\" data-id=\"606a3c9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4faa5db elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4faa5db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"772\" src=\"https:\/\/cultivatinghopefarms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/287284368_558139085691399_8679603199678001359_n-e1657303341217.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-71\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cultivatinghopefarms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/287284368_558139085691399_8679603199678001359_n-e1657303341217.jpg 720w, https:\/\/cultivatinghopefarms.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/287284368_558139085691399_8679603199678001359_n-e1657303341217-280x300.jpg 280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f8e8298 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f8e8298\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Sammie Moorman<\/h5><p><strong>Board Member<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce68c6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"ce68c6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2161\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2161\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Bio<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2161\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2161\"><div dir=\"ltr\">Sammie Moorman is an RN and is currently working at Mary Greeley hospital in Ames.
