About Lisa
Being on both sides of the special needs world as a parent and special ed teacher, my passion is to share what I have learned throughout my career with families who are just entering into this journey and provide them with information and strategies to make today better than yesterday!
I have been the parent spending countless hours online and reading books on how to best help my son talk, follow directions, and behave in public only to have the information but still feel confused about how to use that in our daily lives. I didn’t take my son to a restaurant, library, or grocery store for over a year because it was just too hard. Sound familiar?
My experiences as a mom and teacher drive me to share what I’ve learned so you don’t have to waste any time on strategies that don’t work or require months on a waiting list to get!
