Hi! I’m Amy Bodkin, an Autistic adult and a School Psychologist turned Special Needs Consultant and Public Speaker. I am also a homeschool mom to two great Autistic kids! 

I have an Educational Specialist Degree (Ed.S.) with an emphasis in Neuropsychology, a Masters in Educational Psychology, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology with a minor in Mathematics.

I have also spoken at the Applied Behavior Analysis International Conference in support of significant ethics reform in ABA Therapy. WIth that in mind, I created a CEU course called Towards a More Ethical and Developmental Approach to Behavior Analytic Therapy with Autistic Children. You can find out more information about the course here. 

Professionally, personally, and as a parent, I have a significant amount of experience with Autism and all the many processing and learning differences that can go with Autism. All of these different angles of experience give me a very unique perspective and insight into children whose experiences fall outside of the average. 

My motto is that “Special Needs Kids are People Too!” and it is my goal to see each child as a person and not a diagnosis.

I offer my experience to professionals in the form of Continue Education Courses, Professional Consultation, and parent resources such as my “Special Needs Kids are People Too!” podcast.

Here are some links to the resources I mentioned:

• Consultations and Homeschooling Resources at A Charlotte Mason Plenary 
• “Special Needs Kids are People Too!” Podcast
• Facebook group Special Needs Homeschooling the Charlotte Mason Way
• CEU Course: Towards a More Ethical and Developmental Approach to Behavior Analytic Therapy with Autistic Children

And remember, Special Needs Kids are People Too!
