We are here on today’s episode with the team from the Golden Scoop, Lindsey Krumbholz, Kim Manford, and Golden Scooper, Jill Witwer. The Golden Scoop is a local ice cream and coffee shop (now with two locations) with the mission of providing meaningful employment for people with developmental disabilities.
It’s one of those places where you go and are instantly in a better mood because of it. We hope this interview has the same effect!
Lindsay Krumbholz is Golden Scoop’s Chief Mission Officer. She graduated from Saint Thomas Aquinas High School in Overland Park, Kansas and has a degree in early childhood/special education from Pittsburg State University. She started her career as a behavior assistant at Olathe School District, working with students on the autism spectrum. She moved to another role to learn Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and launched in-home therapy for a small company. For 12 years, she provided in-home services for special needs clients ranging from 18 months to 39 years old. Lindsay’s focus turned to working with families on development of independent living skills and preparation for special needs adolescents to gain employment and potentially transition to living on their own as adults. Lindsay listened and understood the concerns of the families she worked with throughout Kansas City, which led her to develop The Golden Scoop.
Have fun in the sun – safely! Children 6 months of age and older can safely wear sunscreen, and infants younger than 6 months should avoid direct sun. Look for physical blockers, sometimes called mineral sunscreen, containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide when shopping for your kiddo’s summer sunscreen.
Children’s Mercy Kansas City is built for kids. That’s why we have been taking care of the kids in the community for more than 125 years. Learn more.
