Kellie, our mother, daughter, sibling and aunt was most passionate about supporting those with special needs and her favourite was the Autism Spectrum. Her life passion and work revolved around special needs from being an advocate and special needs teacher since 1990. Her passion began with a neighbour growing up with autism during her childhood, learning about Temple Grandin as well as others and grew from there. Kellie has helped aspiring teachers and social workers to better understand Autism and has spoken at York University as well as others.
