The Exceptional Families Network began as the online parent support arm of The Wyatt Holliday Foundation. The foundation opened its doors in 2004 as a tribute to Wyatt Holliday, a boy with Asperger Syndrome who tragically passed away at the age of 9. His mother, Therese Holliday, started the foundation as a way to help other parents who were struggling to navigate the complicated world of special needs. After more than 5 years of serving the local special needs community in and around Olympia, the foundation became inactive in 2010.
