Welcome, I am Vickie.
I have a Master’s in Exceptional Education, but more importantly, I have a self-proclaimed MhD. My training for a Doctorate in Motherhood (Mh.D.) began in 1982 when I delivered our first child, Jessica, born with a rare chromosome deletion.
But there’s more to my story!
I’m a three-time award-winning author of the inspiring memoir Raising Jess: A Story of Hope, keynote speaker, and a passionate advocate for families of children with disabilities. As a mom, former special educator, and lifelong advocate, I write and speak about family, disability, caregiving, resilience, finding joy & hope—and especially laughter—in everyday life.
I’d love to hear from you! Feel free to contact me here.
