Welcome From the Visioneers Team

Georgia Mueller, MS, CEO, WIP-C, Certified Benefits Specialist

Georgia Mueller is mom to a young man with autism and an intellectual disability and wife to Keith, a plant pathologist/horticulturist. When their only son was diagnosed at the age of two, she and her husband responded by solving problems and finding parents to network with as soon as possible. The turning point was when they met professionals who shared resources and referrals to other parents who were a step or two ahead and provided invaluable mentorship. They spent hours seeking all the best therapists and realized that they were scarce and very expensive. They were able to successfully navigate a service community that had very little to offer but somehow succeeded. Their son was found eligible for therapy through their state’s early intervention program (Part C). Then were able to obtain a private spot at the first early education school for autism intervention in Kansas City, to fulfill his school district IEP. Over the years, Georgia has been honored to serve families through several programs such as the Missouri Parent Training and Information Center – MPACT and Missouri Family to Family – MOF2F at UMKC’s Institute for Human Development – IHD.
