"I would like to reflect my experiences when Frances Victory came to give a presentation. When she initially got to our meeting she was very friendly and she started having a few conversations with the parents to help everyone feel comfortable before she started her presentation. She then began with a simple question and asked us whether we take the time to really look within ourselves to see our real potential with goals of our own. That question for me was like a reminder to take another look at myself for who I am and what I have ever wanted to do for myself as an individual. I started to realize that sometimes we tend to forget about who we are because we put ourselves on the “back burner’ to be the parents of a child with autism. Frances then built on those ‘knowledge blocks’ and had us take some simple exercises to look deeper into who we really are and how we can perceive ourselves in different aspects of our life. It was such an eye opening experience for me because I felt we were participating in the presentation in a much more interactive way. We were also actively taking part in remembering our own goals by writing them down as a concrete way to help to stop and think about ourselves as individuals. Frances found ways to gently encourage parents to think aloud and see positive ways of helping themselves. She wanted us to see that once we become better individuals for ourselves then we would ultimately become even better parents for our children. She had a great method of showing that there is always a solution to any obstacle that we face and it’s just a matter of creating smaller goals within the bigger ones in order to make them more easily attainable. I would recommend anyone having Frances Victory share her experiences with you and your families. She was personable, friendly and sensitive but most importantly she is wonderfully motivational." - Lauren Zulu, Coordinator of the P.O.A.C. Autism Support Group. Passaic, New Jersey.
