For parents of children with autism, the daily routine can often feel like a complex puzzle. From managing schedules to creating supportive environments, the need for effective organizational skills is paramount. In this episode, Naeemah chats with Amelia Dorsey-Crawford, author, educator, and mom of an autistic child. She talks about how she and her husband are able to manage their household and busy schedules.
Amelia Dorsey-Crawford was born in Omaha, NE. She attended the University of Nebraska at Omaha where she majored in Journalism. During her undergraduate studies, she was initiated into the Gamma Xi Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. in the spring of 2003. Due to her desire to serve, she decided to switch careers and became involved in social services specifically serving those with disabilities. Crawford went on to receive her Master's in Special Education at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ, and teaches children with disabilities.
Amelia is the author of Awesome Spectacular Daughter - That's Me. It is a children's book about a young girl diagnosed with Autism who faces many challenges throughout her day, but she gets through it all with encouragement and words of affirmation from her therapists, teachers, and most importantly- family!
Amelia currently resides in Gilbert, AZ with her husband and her own Awesome Spectacular Daughter, who inspired her book. Crawford has won awards with her daughter's PTA, and has been invited on book tours and podcasts, such as Relentless and Unstoppable with Autistic Social Media Influencer and advocate Doug Kenney. She hopes to continue to write in the future. Her next book will be about movement and body positivity.
