HORSHAM, PA -- A Montgomery County family has won a free home makeover for their autistic children. The makeover was donated by the Greater Philadelphia Chapter of NAPO, the National Association of Professional Organizers.
The Kellehers, who live in Horsham, have two autistic sons, and a baby daughter.
"Such a great group of volunteers made this all happen, and it shows what kind of a difference professional organizers make in the lives of their clients each day," NAPO said in a statement.

Once the work was complete, the kids were able to better locate their toys, and had more room to play.
According to the report, the re-organization meant that the family saved space and didn't have to throw away old toys that had sentimental value.
April is Autism Awareness Month.
