Rebecca Ottinger

Becky gave our family hope when we had none. She was the light that we needed.

"He is going to be fine. We can help." To a mother of a son newly diagnosed with TS, ADHD, OCD, those words literally illuminated a darkness that had set in. And Becky meant it. She made it her mission to let families know the resources to educate themselves and to let the children know that she really cared about them. Becky had a way of making you know that she believed in you. And she meant it. Children and families could never have a stronger advocate in their corner. My son and...

I got to meet this beautiful woman in the early 90's, I watched her meet every hurdle head-on and knock it down, The endless amount of love and dedicated determination she poured into practically everything to make her dream of the center, the camp, and to make life just a little bit better for the 100's of families she reached, is only something most of us could only hope to be that kind of level of inspiration. My deepest sympathy for your family

God Bless Becky´s family, co-workers and friends. I taught with her at North Rock Creek/Korte in Independence. She was a joy!

Becky was one of the first people I talked to after getting my child´s diagnosis of Tourette 8 years ago. She was so amazing and helpful. I hope her work continues on for years.

God! I hate to see her leave us... She loved Nico and was so invested in everyone. I still have my roll of tape in any purse I wear, so as to figuratively tape my mouth shut! She said "this will remind you be quiet and just LISTEN!" We´ll miss her presence, but I know her legacy will go on. Thank you, Becky! Thank all those who are carrying on her dream and work!
