Biography
Rhonda Spellman is an award winning children’s book author, professional speaker, coach and Autism Advocate. She first became a published author at 17 and has worked in many areas of the writing / publishing / media field since then.
Rhonda self-published her first children’s book, an EVVY award winner, in 2003. Her second children’s book was produced by a large publishing house in 2007; her third book The Journey, Home from Autism, was released on January 1, 2010.
Her life changing story is positively changing lives of those who read it. When a form of Autism took her son’s voice in 2001and threatened to take his ability to live a normal life she began to search for better answers. In seven years and over 7,000 logged hours of research Rhonda found more than she was looking for. She created and discovered ways to help her son and then she began teaching other children. Since 2004, she has taught over 5,700 children (most with special needs) to write a complete 16-page book. Turning these stories into a children’s T.V. series is in the negotiation stages.
Teaching adult care-givers soon followed. She has taught Autism Awareness programs to thousands since 2005. Her video series Autism 101: Beyond The Spectrum, coming soon, will help people globally to understand that Autism is not the end of the world ~ Autism is the beginning of a journey around the world!
Her mission: To Reach, Teach and Inspire Special Children
