À propos de l?auteur

Melissa Niemann is a former Speech Therapist, classroom teacher and cognitive rehabilitation specialist. She is trained in the nero-psychological assessment of children and adults. While working as a behavioral therapist, Melissa met Katherine at the age of seven. Having witnessed her extraordinary growth from working in home therapy sessions to the integration into public schools, and into the community and then to college, she shares practical suggestions and encouragement to those who daily surround a person on the spectrum of autism. The courage and determination of Katherine and her family have inspired her belief that everyone can be part of a living legacy in the life of a child with autism. Danuta Highet is the mother of Katherine Highet who is now a young adult with autism. An engineer by training, Danuta realigned her career goals around Katherine’s needs. The Highet family worked together with Katherine to help her move along the autism spectrum. From preschool through college Danuta supported Katherine in school and after school activities. With her support Katherine was included in choir, dance classes, acting classes, school plays, and high school color guard. Katherine’s unique way of learning did not respond to traditional teaching techniques. The lessons learned from these experiences is what Danuta shares while touring with Katherine to help her raise awareness as an Ambassador for Abilities.
