Dr.Lisa Smith was born and raised in Ohio but moved to Phoenix, AZ twenty-three years ago where she currently resides with her children. When Lisa's son was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3 1/2 years, she began a passionate quest comprised of research, education and hands-on experience and she created a program that ultimately led to the remediation of her son's autism. Now, at age 21, his is considered indistinguishable from his peers! Her life mission is to share this eclectic experience and knowledge to help parents to parent consciously or "on purpose". Lisa believes that all behavior is a language and teaches parents to interpret this language. She also believes that effective strategies must incorporate the child's mind, body and spirit to create strong self-esteem.
