Contact me for: autism awareness, acceptance, and empathy training for EC-12th grade staff and K-8th grade students

A public relations writer and account manager by education and training, Chelsea embarked her journey into the special needs wilderness when her firstborn was a toddler. Both of her now-adolescent children have various diagnoses, including autism spectrum disorder, mitochondrial disorder, and Celiac disease. Seeing the pervasive need for peer education, she and another autism mom incorporated nonprofit organization Good Friend in 2007, and have since completed two original autism awareness films intended for student audiences. A third is in production. She and co-founder Denise Schamens speak at state and national conferences, and have conducted hundreds of staff and student services, involving well over 20,000 people.
