Join us for a fascinating conversation with Christina Collura, a passionate teacher, entrepreneur, and autism advocate.

Discover how Christina's journey began with a simple yet powerful idea—creating a customized name puzzle for her son Luca, who was diagnosed with autism at age three.
This innovative tool, featuring indented chalkboard spaces, transformed Luca's ability to recognize and write his name in just four weeks.
Christina's story is one of creativity and determination, as she integrates these tools into her kindergarten classroom, helping students with diverse learning needs.
Her focus on celebrating strengths and fostering a kind and inclusive environment offers valuable insights for preventing bullying and supporting children like Luca as they transition to new school settings.

Our episode further explores the remarkable growth of Christina's brand, Creative Beginning, which has evolved from a personal project into a global force for autism advocacy.

By expanding into international markets and collaborating with nonprofits, Creative Beginning not only provides innovative tools for children but also raises awareness about autism.
We delve into how building connections and sharing powerful narratives can create a supportive network for kids with special needs worldwide.
Tune in to hear how Christina's story exemplifies the impact of storytelling and inspires us all to spread the word about our podcast, "Why Not Me," and the incredible guests who grace our show.
