Melissa is a stay-at-home mother of two neurodivergent boys, ages 7 and 4. She has a degree in Psychology from University of Wisconsin in Green Bay. She currently homeschools her older son, and is also an Inpatient Pharmacy Technician on weekends. She found out she was neurodivergent herself at age 40. After all of the difficulties with her sons’ school, it opened her eyes to the need to further educate herself and advocate for her family. After reading books like Ross Greene’s Explosive Child and Robyn Gobbel’s Raising Kids with Big Baffling Behaviors, her viewpoint shifted drastically. She attended the Wisconsin Family Leadership Institute with Family Voices of WI in spring and is now committed to being a fierce advocate for change in Wisconsin regarding seclusion and restraint use in schools, as well as helping other families with disabilities find community and ways to share their stories and advocate as well.
