Navigating Nellie

Navigating Nellie

My debut children’s book, Navigating Nellie, was inspired by the incredible kids I work with every day—children with big emotions, bold ideas, and unique ways of expressing themselves. Created with neurodivergent learners and AAC users in mind, this story reflects the vibrant, complex world of children who think and communicate differently.

Navigating Nellie isn’t just a book—it’s a bridge for connection, a tool for building empathy, and a resource that fosters meaningful dialogue between children, families, and educators. With visual supports, inclusive language, and social-emotional themes, it encourages all readers to embrace differences and celebrate their own voice.

Whether I’m working one-on-one in a therapy session or writing a story that reaches children around the world, my mission remains the same: to empower every child to feel seen, heard, and valued for exactly who they are.
