Amalia Starr offers presentations, workshops & trainings in all areas pertaining to her thirty-six years of experience raising a son with autism, untreatable epilepsy, and severe learning disorders.

She is an author of a newly released book, Raising Brandon, which is quickly becoming a manual for parents with children with autism and special needs. It informs, educates, and gives hope to a generation of parents struggling for answers.
