Virtual autism workshops for parents, caregivers, and educators

I am glad you stopped by this site, where you, as a parent, relative, friend, caregiver, or educator of an autistic child, will find some great books, products, and resources.

I am an author, public speaker, and Certified Autism Resource Specialist from the Netherlands. After working abroad as a teacher and humanitarian for 25 years, I moved to the US in 2006 and assumed the care of my then 6-month-old grandson, Logan. There were signs of autism at an early age, and the diagnosis became official in 2009. I have been his caregiver, support, and advocate ever since and I am passionate about promoting autism awareness, acceptance, and action ever since.

Logan is the inspiration behind the Autism Is…? series of children’s books I initially wrote for him and later published. I currently live in California with my now young adult grandson, and besides writing, I present autism training workshops for early childhood educators, parents, and caregivers. You can read more about my story in my latest book, Autism on a Shoestring Budget, [Early] Intervention Made Easier.

I hope you will enjoy your visit and that you will leave encouraged and armed with helpful tips and tools.

Please feel free to contact me for more information about my workshops and current activities and visit again soon!
