And now here’s more!

The Easter Seals Autism Blog has been a great success. The opportunity to write about autism issues and hear from the blog readers via their comments has been a fun part of my job as National Director of Autism Services here at Easter Seals. Easter Seals provides a wide-array of services and supports in addition to our work in autism, so I’m excited that the Autism Blog is morphing into the Easter Seals Blog.
I have specialized in autism for many years but started out my teaching career as a special education teacher, teaching children with all disabilities. I found myself drawn to children with autism but I thoroughly enjoyed working with children with physical and intellectual disabilities, too.
My personal mission has always been one of social justice, working to ensure that individuals with disabilities are full participants in society. The disability community, including those living with autism, often work together to promote awareness and inclusion.
I look forward to continuing to write blog posts about autism, and I know readers will appreciate hearing news about the greater disability community here, too. The new Easter Seals Blog will be a great forum to share information about our services and supports and for the disability community to engage in dialogue.

I like the look of the new blog. Glad to hear you’ll still be covering autism, though.
