Dr. Chrystina Dolyniuk is a professor at Rider University.  She works with individuals with autism and teaches others how to work with individuals with autism.  She has provided training to Ukraine in a way that most Americans cannot.  Dr. Dolyniuk speaks Ukrainian.  She learned the language from her grandparents.  When she presented to the families, therapists, and teachers there, they did not have to have her words translated.   She is connected through history to the people we see on the news each day fighting for their country.  She has an article published on spectrumnews.org titled "My hope for Ukrainians with autism".  It is a moving article that also partially prompted the Facebook page "Americans Supporting Ukrainians with Autism".  We were honored to have this conversation and were inspired by her words.  Have a listen.  Check out her article.  Use the Facebook page to find reputable ways to help individuals with autism in Ukraine.
