Jacqui Folks - Autism Community Leader

In today’s episode I’m chatting with autism mom Jacqui Folks. Jacqui shares her journey with her son Ethan, who is now 18. We talk about the early days after Ethan’s diagnosis 16 years ago and how different things were back then. Jacqui was determined in her pursuit to help her son and find others dealing with similar issues along the way. She managed to do just that and formed ACES for Autism- a local group that is doing amazing things for autism in their community. Jacqui also recently published her book “Adventures with Big E: Help with Hygiene” which is a collection of social stories about all things related to hygiene! Jacqui and I also talk about how her son is doing now that they are navigating adulthood. Jacqui is such a sweet and genuine person, we had a great conversation! I hope you enjoy listening! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/megan-carranza/message

Episode 65- Shifting perspective as your child grows, with autism mom Jacqui Folks 

We’re in the bathroom today learning about how social stories can help your child learn about hygiene.  In this episode my guest, Jacqui Folks shares her children’s book that helps teach kids with autism how to brush teeth, get dressed, bathe and much more.  In this episode you will discover:  How Jacqui’s parenting journey led to her creating this book. How to break down a task into do-able steps for your child. How to use social stories with your own child to increase their skills and awareness.   Meet Jacqui Folks, Author  Jacqualine “Jacqui” Folks is an author who lives in Eudora, Kansas with her husband, Mike. She is a busy mother of three sons; Bret, Ethan and Garrett. In 2003 Jacqui’s middle son, Ethan, was diagnosed with Autism. His diagnosis came at a time when resources for Autism were scarce and she found herself on a journey of self education to enrich the life of her child. Though she still found time to support her other sons on the soccer field, most of her time was spent in libraries learning all she could about Autism education, therapies and advocacy. In 2005 Jacqui started a support group for parents in her local community. Several years later the ladies she met through that journey joined forces and co-founded the Eudora ACES (Autism Community Education and Support) Society. ACES is a successful non-profit organization dedicated to helping other families with their journey through Autism and supplying necessary equipment and resources for special education classes in their school district. Jacqui wrote the Adventures With “Big E” social stories series as tools to help her young son on his journey with Autism and to offset the extremely high costs of therapy interventions and services. Highlighted in each story are methods she used for education, therapy and life skills. She longed for resources like these stories when her son was younger. Having a friendly character, repetition and illustrations at the ready would have been extremely valuable. So, through her unique children’s literature she is providing it for others. She also shares her story through videos on her Facebook page Au-some Talk.  Mentioned on the podcast:    Join the conversation in our private Facebook group: Our Autism Blueprint Private Facebook Page   Jacqui’s book: Adventures With Big E: Help With Hygiene       Facebook Page for the book Eudora ACES (Autism Community Education and Support) Society AU-Some Talk Facebook Page/Group For Parents  Disclaimer: Although we receive a small commission from Amazon, as an affiliate member, we would recommend this product, regardless.   Listen to this episode: The post Autism &amp; Hygiene Help | How social stories can help teach life skills | A conversation with author Jacqui Folks |ABP Episode 63 appeared first on Puzzle Peace Counseling.
