Life of Service in Lehi: Finding Purpose Through Autism Education
from Roots and Branches of Lehi: The People and Stories of Our City · host Work Harding
🌿 Life Lessons From a Small Town | Autism, Community, & the Heart of Lehi | Highlight Reel How does growing up in a tight-knit town shape the way we see each other? In this highlight from Roots & Branches of Lehi, we hear a touching reflection on the power of community—from childhood memories to a career built on compassion. The speaker shares how the streets and traditions of Lehi helped form lifelong bonds “beyond blood,” and how those early experiences inspired a meaningful path in special education. Through stories of working with children with autism, we glimpse the joy, patience, and deep purpose that come from serving others. This reel also explores the events, heritage, and shared history that make Lehi feel like home, along with heartfelt thoughts on retirement and the legacy we leave behind. It’s a celebration of small-town spirit—and the people who quietly strengthen it every day. 📌 Love stories that celebrate community and connection?
