LifeMAP AsperCoach Jan Starr Campito, M.S., M.Phil., is also being welcomed to the AAPCA as a new Honorary Member. Jan has years of experience working with individuals on the spectrum. She has recently authored a chapter in the book A Spectrum of Solutions for Clients with Autism, Treatment for Adolescents and Adults.

Jan’s chapter, “Countdowns, Mis-launches, and Birds in Flight,” gives a fascinating and thought provoking perspective on autism. The book is a comprehensive guide to working with individuals on the autism spectrum.

As Jan states, “The perspectives shared in the book itself demonstrate quite vividly how an interdisciplinary approach can be beneficial for addressing our clients various needs. Autistic voices are well represented.”

Jan brings a wealth of hands-on experience and education to the Asperger Autism Professional Coaching Association. She is also the author of other books, such as Supportive Parenting.

 

LifeMAP welcomes both Ms. Stahlberg and Ms. Campito as it’s two new honorary members to the AAPCA!
