Janice E. Janzen was challenged to learn about the unique autism learning style when a child with autism was enrolled in her class in 1972. Since then, she has taught children with autism; provided training and consultation services to teachers and parents; developed and implemented Oregon's Regional Autism Services model; written technical assistance and training materials and special topics papers; and conducted autism workshops across the country.
