Jeanne Holverstott, MS is the autism spectrum specialist with Responsive Centers for Psychology and Learning, where she has practiced for four years. She graduated from the University of Kansas with a Master’s Degree in the autism and Asperger Syndrome program in 2005. She has worked with children on the spectrum for ten years in a variety of settings and capacities, including as a paraeducator, a home therapist, a teacher, a home provider, and a community-based specialist. She is currently working on certification for Relationship Development InterventionTM. Jeanne teaches classes on the autism spectrum at Johnson County Community College and leads a monthly support group for parents with children with autism spectrum disorders.

Jeanne believes that autism is a diagnosis systemically affecting both the diagnosed individual and the larger family structure. As such, she offers an array of services for children and adults with autism spectrum disorders. She attends and advocates for her clients in Individualized Education Plan meetings. She works closely with school staff to develop intervention plans for her clients. Clinically, she helps parents and children on the spectrum to address behaviors, anxiety/depression, and social skills. Jeanne runs approximately 15 social skills groups weekly for individuals ranging in age from 4 to 25. With her older clients, she helps to improve their quality of life in whatever way they see fit. Jeanne also provides diagnostic services for children with suspected ASD.

Jeanne has written several articles about increasing self-determination in individuals with ASD. Jeanne co-authored Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Handbook for Parents and Professionals with Brenda Smith Myles. She also writes the "Ask an Expert" blog for the www.spectrumconnection.org website.
