WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

School Districts:

Rhonda’s program on Asperger’s Syndrome was quite informative and full of useful tools that can be used by any care-giver: from mothers to doctors. Her enthusiasm is contagious and her love for children is obvious also. I would recommend this program to anyone working with school children or to anyone wanting a greater understanding of Asperger’s Syndrome.
Marilyn Lawrence, School RN, Dimmitt ISD, TX

Rhonda Speaks from the heart and makes me feel like there is progress and hope for special children. I’m very impressed with the thoroughness of her research about Asperger’s Syndrome and the fact that she wasn’t defeated by her son’s diagnosis. She demonstrates how to cope and have a rewarding life with her informative presentation.
Virgie Long, Retired Para Professional, Lamar School District

“Rhonda Spellman is an excellent and gifted communicator. She’s got a unique skill – the ability to interact with small children, teens and adults. Few writers and speakers can connect with multiple generations as effectively as she does.”

“Rarely do you see a difficult subject approached with such love and passion and intelligent solutions! The information she delivers is powerful and empowering at the same time. Rhonda is leading the way.”
Shannon Parish, Founder, Living Stones Center, Denver, CO

I was particularly interested in hearing Rhonda Spellman’s position on autism as a close friend has a toddler with autism. Rhonda’s extensive knowledge as a result of years of research, her sincere desire to share her knowledge and experience with others, and her superb writing and presentation skills combine to make her a valuable resource for anyone dealing with an autistic child.
Judy Blaskowski, coauthor of The Step Dynamic: A Powerful Strategy for Successfully Growing Your Business

Rhonda’s program on Asperger’s Syndrome is a ‘must see’ presentation for moms, educators, medical providers and anyone involved with children suspected to have this illness. I actually consulted with Rhonda about an autistic child for a screenplay that I am writing. Her knowledge comes from first hand awareness and many years of in-depth research. Her powerful story comes from first hand success with her son. See this program, take lots of notes, oh, and take a few Kleenex!

Speaker, columnist, screenwriter, and award-winning author

I had the opportunity to see Rhonda present at Colorado Independent Publishers event in March 2009. She was incredibly engaging and obviously passionate about her topic. Her message about empowering kids with and without autism was inspiring and motivational. Rhonda is a great example of how one woman can make change happen!
