Descenza Interview

Originally Aired Thu, 07/07/2011 - 1:00pm

The idea for Farmsteads of New England, Inc. (FNE) simmered and grew in the mind of founder, Deborah DeScenza, for a number of years. Deborah is the mother of a child with significant special needs and has worked in the field of special education as a teacher, program coordinator, and consultant for almost twenty years.

In this interview, Deborah talks about the obstacles she overcame in achieving her dream: an intentional farming community that caters to the needs of people who have autism and other developmental disabilities.

AutismOne is a private, nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization with its primary mission of helping children and families within the autism spectrum and related conditions. AutismOne is an educational organization, and all lectures, information, and presentations are for informational purposes only. No information on this website nor any AutismOne related event should be construed as medical and/or legal advice or recommendations. We strongly advise that all children needing specific medical or legal advice seek counsel of a duly licensed professional. Every child is unique, and to attempt to address complex medical issues without a trained and experienced expert is akin to a lay person attempting to perform surgery without any training. Doing either would risk serious (and in some cases could have irreversible) consequences.
