Welcome!!
My name is Frances Victory, Ph.D., C.P.C., I am a Certified Life Coach, Speaker, Developmental Psychologist, and Adjunct Assistant Professor.
I have enjoyed working with children with autism in a variety of different capacities such as early intervention centers, special education classrooms, and summer camp programs. I completed my doctoral degree in Developmental Psychology at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York City. My training focused on understanding each individual as a product of the different forces within their environment. Through the years I studied the variety of factors that influence a child with autism's social emotional skills; and examined the importance of professional development for teachers in parochial preschools. In addition, I studied the role of religion on the daily life, coping skills, and parenting of mothers and fathers of children with autism.
