    Building Support for Autism in Your Community
    Jun 25 2024
    Dr Mary speaks with Gaile Valcho about how to involve your community in understanding and supporting those with autism, especially first responders. She is a wife and mom to a teenage autistic boy. She has over a decade of experience in the autism community and has a certification in a Master IEP training.

    Gaile and her husband founded, The Brady Valcho Autism Foundation in 2022 to help families in her community find much needed resources and provide scholarships to families for autism summer camps. Her and husband are also the founders of The Holly Springs Autism Acceptance Day Event held each fall. Part of the Foundation’s mission is to provide free autism trainings to first responders and area businesses to help others engage with the autistic population.

    Gaile enjoys spending time with her family, running and travel. Her favorite quote is by Ruth Bader Ginsburg. ~“Fight for things you care about. But do it in a way that will lead others to join you”

  • 4 A's of Autism with Angel Wilson

    4 A's of Autism with Angel Wilson
    Apr 30 2024
    Dr Mary speaks with Angel Wilson, Owner of SPARC Guidance and an Autism Educator.

    After 15 years in the autism field, Angel had held nearly every position in it. From Therapist, to Developmental Specialist, Supervisor, Trainer, Assessor, Interventionist...she learned and saw a LOT. What she noticed, though, were the concerns coming from families and providers alike; a lot of them knew OF autism, but didn't really know ABOUT autism.
    SPARC Guidance was created to answer these concerns. Since becoming a full time business, SPARC has trained over 120 providers (daycare staff, teachers, coordinators, and administrators) on what autism is and how to better understand autistic individuals. In 2022, the mission gained a new platform with SPARC Up, a podcast that centers on all things autism.
