How We Got Our Name "The Buddy System"
One of our neighbors is the same age as our brother, Randy. Randy developed conversational skills during his middle school years. Our friend was very patient and kind as Randy would recount his school day. Randy never called his friend by his name. He called him "Buddy System". We don't know why or how Randy came up with that name, but that is always how he greeted our neighbor. We believe every teen with special needs should have a "Buddy System", and that is how this idea for a service organization came to be!
