Welcome!!
My name is Frances Victory, Ph.D., C.P.C., I am a Certified
Life Coach, Speaker, Developmental Psychologist, Adjunct Assistant Professor, and Parent of A Child with Special Needs.
I have enjoyed working with children with autism in a variety of different capacities such as early intervention centers, special
education classrooms, and summer camp programs.
I completed my doctoral degree in Developmental Psychology
at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York City. My training
focused on understanding each individual as a product of
the different forces within their environment.
Through the years I studied the variety of factors that influence
a child with autism's social emotional skills; and examined
the importance of professional development for
teachers in parochial preschools. In addition, I studied the role
of religion on the daily life, coping skills, and parenting of
mothers and fathers of children with autism.
