I grew up in Erie, Pa. I am a Speech Pathologist I have 2 sons with special needs one of which has autism. I am most proud of homeschooling my children. My daughter is a student at Lake-Sumter and her first semester she was on the presidents list. I am interested in holistic medicine. I am interested in musical theater and performing. My first major in college was music/vocal performance. Compared to most of this group I have limited computer knowledge. I evaluate homeschool programs for many families in this area and throughout the state. I enjoy meeting and getting to know people. I enjoy public speaking. This is my 6th computer class over the past 10 years. Being part of musical theater I get to experience team work. Everyone, individually, has to learn their part and then come together as part of the team. I had to set up a program for my son with autism. I had to find the best behavior analyst to be the team leader for his program. We then had to train everyone to work with my son. I have since been able to help other parents and teachers do the same for other children with autism and various disabilites.

Fab Five Group Project Write Up (on behalf of our entire group) Our project has been very challenging. I think we bit off more than we could chew. We have also had several set backs because of the nature of the project and "do-do" happens! Our group is the largest so legistically that has been difficult but I think we have done an awesome job. Programming is often a team effort so group work is inevitable. Our project is visually appealing which is important in this computer age. As far as our program working, it does. Well parts of it do and parts of it don't. We could not get our bonus games to work properly.We also did not get our sounds to work but we really got elaborate with our sounds and functions. Like I said, we bit off more than we could chew. If we had more time and more knowledge then we would have gotten everything to work. We should have started with a more basic project and built on that but instead we went for broke. The individual members of our group were very generous with their talent. They gave hours and hours sometimes for not. In the end we all felt like we learned something more than we came in with which is a reward in itself. We were thankful for the time and effort that each individual put into the group. We hope you enjoyed our project.
