In 2004, Stephanie Holmes's eldest daughter, Sydney, was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, and Stephanie's focus as a counselor turned toward the world of Individualized Education Programs, 504 educational plans, and understanding how to help special needs students in the classroom. Today, Stephanie helps families deal with the frustrations and challenges of having a special needs child. She also practices counseling at her home church, Calvary Atlanta; advocates for special needs families; and specializes in Asperger-Neuro-Typical marriage therapy. "Confessions of a Christian Counselor" will walk you through Stephanie's personal struggles and triumphs as a mother, as well give practical advice and strategies from her clinical practice with Autism Spectrum Disorder across the life spectrum. It also includes extended appendices which include an interview on spectrum teens with Dr. Tony Attwood, world-renowned expert on Asperger's Syndrome.
