Special-Needs Parent on a Mission to Spread Fun

"Fun is important!!! Don't wait until he is a little better, or wait until his therapy is done, or make him work more with less fun than other kids."

That's advice from Dee Carrick, the mother of an adult with autism and the proprietor of OZMO, an online store dedicated to providing fun products and a stress-free shopping experience to people with autism and their families.

According to the site's menu, the fun includes Cool Fun, Light Fun, Relaxing Fun, Gross Fun, Fantasy Fun, Machine Fun, Dinosaur Fun, Space Fun, Puzzle Fun, Sound Fun, Animal Fun, Bug Fun, Weather Fun, Water Fun, Numbers Fun, Earth Fun, and History Fun.

OZMO is the latest parent-run business to be the subject of an Enterprising Parents profile. Read more about it, and think about how you might translate your own approach to the challenges of special-needs parenting into an entrepreneurial opportunity.
