Andrea Pollack, a devoted mother and former lawyer, has been on quite the journey with her 24-year-old son who has autism. After noticing a lack of adequate support for her son in school, she left her 19-year career and homeschooled him for eight years. Andrea's dedication didn't stop there; she went back to school and earned her Master's in education to better assist other parents facing similar challenges. Now, as the founder of Autism Parent Solutions, Andrea offers education and coaching to countless parents in need.
