Amy Johnson, Founder

Spectrum Services was founded by Amy Johnson, a mother of two amazing children with different abilities. In her younger years, she enjoyed a career as a Development Officer at the University of Rochester while she raised her daughter who has epilepsy and a rare brain disorder. When her son was born 10 years later and was diagnosed with autism, Amy decided to stay at home with her children. For the past 30 years, Amy has the experience of navigating services and supports for her children, including out-of-state programs and emergency housing for her son.
She has also served the community through fundraising, advocacy, volunteer work and continued her education in disability services in a variety of ways including:
- Board of Directors, Stepping Stones Learning Center
- Chairperson, Walk Now for Autism Rochester
- Family & Community Liaison, Autism Speaks
- Advocacy Ambassador, Autism Speaks
- Walking on Sunshine Committee, Mary Cariola Center
