She co-authored the book Cat Tales-True Love Stories, produced a weekly radio show for kids and won the New York State Broadcasters Award for one of her many creative pieces. Raising two children of her own, Linda also became involved in the world of Autism after learning that her youngest child was diagnosed on the Autistic Spectrum. Determined to make sure her son became a strong and independent adult, she learned how to help him find the keys to learning to help him with his education and with life. These are the experiences she draws from that led her to what she does for us here today.
