She has previously worked for her county's Arc and has served on the Boards of Directors for several disability organizations.

She is known for her practical, realistic and implementable advice for parents.Warning: I've been told I have a Philly accent. I don't hear it. Also, I curse. It's something I'm working on as far as personal development. So please don't be put off. I'm trying.

I love this podcast, Lisa is very knowledgeable and honest. She admits when she’s wrong and does her makes an effort to listen to the prospective of disabled adults. Three things: 1. I applied to the Facebook group and never got accepted. 2. ABA is ableist and leads to extreme trauma and often PTSD. It is also cure/fix based in approach. 3. Autistic and “person with autism” are not equivalent. Person with autism is seen as dehumanizing by many autistic people.
Lisa is amazing - a blessing!! Thank you!

I really want to leave a detailed review but I will come back and edit this. 5 stars isn’t enough!! Join the Facebook group, like and follow the page and start reading the blog!! Everything is so helpful!! You are your child’s best advocate and Lisa teaches you exactly how to be the best one possible!! She answers questions, she is constantly updating info. I honestly don’t know how she finds enough time in a day. I’m a mom of 3, one is in first grade with ADHD and other diagnosis and an IEP. I am constantly spending any free time I have educating myself and it’s still not enough. Now I get to listen in the car too!!! Thank you so much!
So good!!!
