Julie founded Autistically Inclined after six years of formal training in relationship-based autism therapy. More than a decade ago, her plans to become a graphic designer took an unexpected detour when Julie began working with a 4-year-old autistic boy named Trent. A part-time job working with Trent turned into a life-altering passion. Julie hasn't looked back. She spent two years training in behavioral therapy before considering relationship-based alternatives. The profound results -- increased eye contact, spontaneous use of language, genuine warmth, etc. -- made her a believer. Inspired by her experiences, Julie empowers parents to reach their autistic children in ways that once seemed unimaginable.
