Autorenporträt
Patricia Weaver is a parent of a son with autism. Her dual degrees in Biology and Health Sciences with a certification as a Physician's Assistant were a strong foundation for her additional training in the Lovaas method of ABA and the Greenspan Floortime methodology. She acquired additional training in TEACCH and PECS during her employment as a teacher and specialist. She has over 20 years of experience working with persons with Autism including in the Henrico County school system; as past president of the Autism Society of America, Central VA Chapter; and as four years as the Director of Tuckahoe Little League Challenger Division. Additionally, she is one of the co-founders and president of the Skills Development Center (SDC), a non-profit organization dedicated to the continued learning and self-empowerment of adults over 18 with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Her passion is her current job as the Program Director of the SDC, working with these adults as they continue to learn skills, explore and develop talents and help them connect with their peers in a facilitated recreation center. Stuff You Need to Know was written for this population to help them learn some of the softer, subtler skills of adulthood such as technology, internet, health and hygiene and cooking.
