BEHIND THE FACE OF AUTISM IS THE GIFT OF VISUAL INTELLIGENCE 

My name is Janel. I am the mother of a 21 year old son with Autism, a Curriculum Adaptation Specialist and  Private Tutor for children and young adults with Autism. I have been on a mission for many years to eradicate the extreme rate of illiteracy amongst people with Autism.

After much intervention I succeeded in teaching my son all of his basic academic skills and even taught him to speak again. I wanted to see if I could mirror my son's success with other persons with Autism so I set out on a journey armed with my program Visual Academics and an open mind.  I have taught those who were labeled "uneducable" and witnessed amazing grace display itself gifting them all with profound math, reading and language skills.  This includes persons who can or cannot write or are nonvebal. 

I would like to hear about your experience with Autism and academics, in particular those who have loved ones with Autism who cannot write or are nonverbal.

 Sincerely, Janel
