As a professional and a family member of someone on the spectrum, my passion is working with individuals with autism and other special needs. My focus is helping those who work with this population across all ages and ability levels. For the last 20 years I have worked with teachers and administrators who support students with autism and other disabilities through professional development, consultation and support to schools. I also teach graduate students working in ABA and autism. I've authored books for elementary, adolescents and adults for building functional vocabulary through Linguisystems and am the co-author of Setting Up Classrooms For Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Building Independence.You can read more about me at my website: http://www.autismclassroomnews.com
