Meet Heather. She is a 16-year-old high school student from New York, who aspires to be a special education teacher in hopes of working with children with autism.
Heather’s website, Kids Can Dream Autism, features general information about autism, links to free picture communication symbols (PCS) resources, and a weekly list of teacher “freebies”.
Also, Heather shares a little on the site about her two brothers. One of her brothers has PDD, and the other has moderate-to-severe autism.
Heather herself could not walk or talk until she was 3. Early intervention did her wonders! She was never diagnosed with anything other than a muscular disorder. However, at one point she was tested with Muscular Dystrophy. She has recovered as time goes by.
Now that she is great, Heather wants to help others! Please visit her site and comment in her guestbook.
