As a mother of two children on the autism spectrum, Joann writes with a personal understanding of the questions many families face around their child's growth and development. With 7 years of experience writing family health and parenting content, she focuses on making complex topics easy to understand for parents raising growing kids.
Her goal is simple: help caregivers feel informed and supported, alongside guidance from their own doctors and specialists. All content she writes is reviewed by Doctor Taller's editorial team for accuracy before publishing.
