I LOVE Meme’s passion….and we share a common belief…

As Meme says…

“Parents are the single most important resource in their children’s lives and empowering them is the path to achieving the best possible outcomes and quality of life for their children.”

In case you have not been formally introduced to Meme, she has been sharing her knowledge with Parenting Special Needs Magazine for over nine years. I am sure you have read her work if you have been a subscriber.

Meme Heineman has a Ph.D. in Special Education and is nationally certified as a behavior analyst. She has published a variety of articles AND three books including “Parenting with Positive Behavior Support: A Practical Guide to Resolving Your Child’s Difficult Behavior.” 

Meme’s here to share with us the behavioral intervention program “Practiced Routines” she’s put together to not just improve a child’s behavior, but also to improve family life as well.
