Listen to her interview on 95.7 BenFM

Pam Hackett, founder and managing partner of Pediatric Therapeutic Services.

In addition to her job as co-founder and CEO of Conshohocken-based Pediatric Therapeutic Services, a therapy staffing agency serving special needs kids in local schools, Pam recently traveled to Mysore, India as a volunteer to train counselors at a new school for special needs children (the first of its kind in this rather remote Indian city). I thought it would be interesting for your listeners to learn about what motivates her to work with special needs kids, how this trip opened her eyes to the needs of austistic and disabled children worldwide, and how she balances these charitable works with running one of America's fastest growing small businesses (according to Inc Magazine, 2007, 2008).
