Topics include:

Autorenporträt

Rondalyn Varney Whitney, PhD, is an occupational therapist and educator. Rondalyn's research in family quality of life, maternal stress, and role of emotional disclosure and perceived support for children and young adults with autism and related disorders and their families began when her own child was diagnosed with a poorly understood learning style. Rondalyn shares her humor in her writing and her work and is well known for her innovative evidence based social curriculum, her leadership, her expertise in sensory integration theory and her outstanding skills as a creative problem solver. She lives with her husband and two sons in Baltimore, Maryland and can frequently be seen pulling her younger son through the house on a sensory rich magic carpet ride or reminding her older son [now fluent in Japanese and Chinese and studying Linguistics] to not laugh at her West Virginia pronunciations. Her book Bridging the Gap was the first book that outlined the hopeful potential and gift of Aspergers or Nonverbal Learning Disabilty.
