30 APR 2024 · Dr Mary speaks with Angel Wilson, Owner of SPARC Guidance and an Autism Educator. After 15 years in the autism field, Angel had held nearly every position in it. From Therapist, to Developmental Specialist, Supervisor, Trainer, Assessor, Interventionist...she learned and saw a LOT. What she noticed, though, were the concerns coming from families and providers alike; a lot of them knew OF autism, but didn't really know ABOUT autism. SPARC Guidance was created to answer these concerns. Since becoming a full time business, SPARC has trained over 120 providers (daycare staff, teachers, coordinators, and administrators) on what autism is and how to better understand autistic individuals. In 2022, the mission gained a new platform with SPARC Up, a podcast that centers on all things autism. http://www.sparcguidance.com/ DR MARY COACHES FB COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/drmaryjonescoaching DR MARY COACHES INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/drmaryjoneslifecoaching DR MARY COACHES: http://drmarycoaches.com/ Listen in wherever you get your podcasts: MHNRN: https://www.mentalhealthnewsradionetwork.com/the-dr-mary-podcast/ Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwio7eXg24KCAxUgIDQIHZiSBZkQFnoECA4QAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpodcasts.apple.com%2Fus%2Fpodcast%2Fdr-mary-podcast%2Fid1702069887&usg=AOvVaw3Ux_249VS-mvmughKLX2p9&opi=89978449
