A practical, common-sense approach to reducing stress and anxiety in children with autism in order to improve their day-to-day functioning, health and wellbeing
Theresa Hamlin is Associate Executive Director for the Center for Discovery, New York State. She has a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and has been at the center since 1983. She oversees program operations, management, curriculum design, and program evaluation. She has been the director of several federally funded grants aimed at providing education and support to families of children with severe disabilities, and is the Faculty Chair of the Carrus Institute for family support and research. Theresa also has a family member with autism.
Autism and the Stress Effect is a welcome book that distills much
of the information about the internal noise of stress, pain or
perhaps the chemical effects of a terrible diet and delivers a
useful and digestible guide for our autism community to use to
improve the care and nurturing of our children.
