Lead Instructor
Stephen Shore, Ed.D.
Diagnosed with "Atypical Development and strong autistic tendencies" and "too sick" for outpatient treatment Dr. Shore was recommended for
institutionalization. Nonverbal until four, and with much support from his parents, teachers, wife, and others, Stephen's research focuses on
matching best practice to the needs of people with autism and he is now a professor of education at Adelphi University teaching courses on special
education and autism.
In addition to working with children and talking about life on the autism spectrum, Stephen presents and consults internationally on adult issues
pertinent to education, relationships, employment, advocacy, and disclosure as discussed in his books Beyond the Wall: Personal Experiences with
Autism and Asperger Syndrome, Ask and Tell: Self-advocacy and Disclosure for People on the Autism Spectrum, and the critically acclaimed
Understanding Autism for Dummies.
Dr. Shore serves in the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee, and for the Board of Directors for Autism Society of America Unlocking Autism,
and other autism related organizations.
