About the Author
Author Bio: From ESE to PhD
Personal Bio:
The Life...With a Side of Autism book series is a labor of love designed and written by Dr. Christina Delgado, EdD. I have worked my entire life in the field of Special Education, by becoming a Florida certified teacher, certified in Special Education, earned a Master's Degree in Education, and a Doctoral Degree in Special Education with a concentration in Autism Spectrum Disorder. In addition, I have worked several years as a Special Education teacher for children with an array of disabilities. Now, I am sure that your all are thinking, " Okay, we get it. You are very qualified." But the truth is that these certifications are only a small part of why I have an understanding and appreciation for the world of Special Education.
The truth is that I have two disabilities, Reading Processing Speed and Dyslexia. I did not start to learn how to read until I was 10 years old. I attended Special Education schools and received accommodations throughout my elementary school, high school, and college years. Therefore, the reason I feel well-versed in the world of Special Education is because I've experienced both sides of the coin. I have been the child who needed help due to my disabilities and the professional providing help to those with disabilities. Therefore, as someone who created this book series as a labor of love, I hope that you find this book to not only be beautiful, but also informative and useful when teaching your child how to develop and navigate their social skills. I spent my entire life in Special Education classrooms, and now I have made it my life's work to give back to the youth and families who are apart of the Special Ed community.
