Amanda joined the HANDS team as a Community Transition Specialist at the beginning of 2023. Her role includes working with families, schools, and community providers to provide strategies and support to promote success in the children with whom she works. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Louisiana State University in Theater Studies and her master’s degree in Elementary Education/Special Education Mild-Moderate Disabilities from the University of New Orleans. She taught special education primarily working with students with autism in New Orleans and the surrounding areas for 10 years prior to moving to Indiana in the summer of 2022. She is grateful for the opportunity to work with families outside of the classroom and has a passion for helping those with ASD and other related disabilities.
