She graduated from Saint Joseph's College of New York in June of 2005 with a Bachelor Degree in General and Special Education. In 2007, she graduated from Long Island University with a Master Degree in Special Education. Since her graduation from Saint Joseph's College, she has taught children with autism both in school and home environments. Over the years, she has learned how important social stories are for children with autism and other disabilities. She has used social stories with her students to teach many different positive behaviors. She is hoping her book, which has been created much like a social story, will be a valuable resource for both parents and other teachers.
