“It’s been an honor to work closely with Deanna over the past few years as we share the same enthusiasm for helping support and empower parents, families, and self-advocates. So it seemed natural to name her Top Family Guidance Writer for 2022,” said Amy KD Tobik, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Exceptional Needs Today. “We look forward to working with Deanna in 2023 as we continue to grow the magazine through various ventures, including several conferences and a bonus issue tailored to the Spanish community.”
“I’m honored to be recognized with this prestigious award. Helping special needs mothers and fathers navigate the unique challenges and responsibilities of parenting a child with a disability is a lifelong mission for me," said Deanna Picon. "As a mother of a young adult man with autism, I understand how devastating an autism diagnosis can be. But through my own journey, I recognize the special joys, rewarding experiences, and unique life gifts which can result from raising a son or daughter with special needs. It's a pleasure to partner with Amy and Exceptional Needs Today to promote awareness and acceptance of special needs individuals and their families.”
