Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Doctoral Candidate in my third year, working in early intervention with little ones under 3 years old, hoping to inspire families with my books to be open to children and others different than them, to encourage friendship for all. This is my first book in the series Lets Talk!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my current book is Lets Talk! A story of autism and friendship. I get inspired from my job and career. I see daily the struggles little ones with Autism have and little ones that don’t have Autism when they want to befriend a little one with Autism. We really need to encourage our children to be open. We also need to see that Autism is just a diffeernt way to learn and little ones with Autism can do the same things any of their friends can. I want to change the way Autism is viewed and really encourage families to be more open.
