My Journey
From Personal Experience to Collective Empowerment
JCole Advocacy, Inc., envisioned in 2009 and officially established in August 2016, is driven by a personal journey and a powerful mission. Founded by CEO Alicia Gosha-Page, the idea blossomed from her firsthand experiences with autism.
Alicia's journey with autism began in the Spring of 2004 when her 2½-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Autism and Speech/Language Impairment. As a vigilant mother, she closely monitored her second child's development and, by 15 months, noticed characteristics of autism once again. A swift visit to a developmental pediatrician confirmed another diagnosis of ASD.
These experiences sparked Alicia's vision for JCole Advocacy, Inc., to serve as a beacon of Autism Awareness and Inclusion. The organization is dedicated to being a community support partner, striving to positively influence the mindset of the community and caregivers alike.
