- What You Need to Know About Me:
- I'm a speech-language pathologist, an author of children's books and a columnist in local newspapers throughout New York. My column focuses on educational issues, laws and parents' rights. I also launched an educational website as a resource for parents, teachers and youth. I am always looking for a new venue to advertise my books and website. It would be great to belong to this fine group of talented people and to make new connections! My education includes a BS degree in communicative disorders, a MS degree in speech-language pathology, a MS degree in multicultural education, and 30 additional graduate credits in educational administration. I love children and also work as an educational consultant.
My first book, "They Say I Have ADHD, I Say Life Sucks!" Thoughts From Nicholas, is about a little boy who has ADHD-attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and what a typical day is like for him at school. Readers view how the symptoms of ADHD follow a domino effect as Nicholas loses his homework, loses track of time, loses friends, is disorganized, gets sent to the principal's office, is clumsy, can't remain focused, gets little sleep and feels all around inadequate. He is followed by a comical clock companion who tries to keep him on target. This book is available at www.amazon.com and is also available in Spanish. My second book is about a little girl who stutters and my third book is set in a jungle. I self-published my first book however, I have a traditional publishing house here in NY who is interested in re-publishing my first book and publishing the other two. Feel free to contact me!

Great to connect with you too. I created my publishing company to publish the books that I wrote. Are you seeking a publisher? If so, what classification/genre is your topic?
