Bio
Primarily, I provide consultation, outreach services and information to parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders [ASD]. I am the Founder and Executive Director of Autism Resource Mom, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides support, guidance and hope to families of children with autism spectrum disorder. As the mom of a teen with High-Functioning Autism, I've tested and found viable, effective solutions to many of the challenges of day-to-day living faced by this population. I work with parents [and kids] one-on-one or in groups, teaching how to recognize what does and doesn't work for each particular family. By helping individuals and their parents more successfully navigate school systems and learn life skills in preparation for independent living, I offer support, guidance and hope. I speak to parent and teacher groups throughout the county on the topics of executive functioning skills, transitioning from high school to life as an independent adult, helping the student with ASD succeed in the classroom and more.
