What does it take to turn frustration into a thriving nonprofit that changes lives? Meet Danny Combs, a devoted father whose journey of supporting his autistic son, Dylan, led to the creation of TACT, an organization that empowers autistic individuals through trades and crafts.
Discover the deeply personal story of Dylan's early autism diagnosis and the signs that led to it, as Danny shares the unique challenges Dylan faces as a teenager, from navigating social situations to dealing with bullying.
Learn about the critical role of effective communication with educators and the evolving support within the school system.
Hear how a meeting with Dr. Temple Grandin and Dylan's natural talent for trades inspired Danny to start TACT in the back of a '58 Chevy panel truck.
Now based in Inglewood, Colorado, TACT serves over 600 students annually with plans to expand to Queens and Austin.
We discuss the impressive placement rates and the organization’s partnerships with major companies, the challenges of maintaining focus, and the continuous need for funding.
Danny also opens up about the unexpected educational role he has taken on, teaching others about autism and neurodiversity, and the broader mission of changing societal perceptions of what autistic individuals can achieve.
Explore the transformative impact of TACT's hands-on, project-based programs that foster teamwork and social skills, and the vital importance of parental involvement.
Danny emphasizes recognizing and validating the fears and thoughts of individuals with autism, addressing financial challenges, and ensuring inclusivity through TACT's scholarship program.
This episode is a powerful testament to the unwavering support of parents and community efforts in empowering autistic individuals and breaking down barriers. Join us for an inspiring conversation that highlights the profound difference one father’s dedication can make.
