About Veronica Crafton

Hi, I’m Veronica!

Veronica Crafton, author of Learning the Language of Autism

For the past 2 decades I’ve had the privilege of working with children with autism as a special education teacher, ABA provider, Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), and business owner. And somewhere along the way, I noticed something: autism comes with a whole language of its own.

IEPs. ABA. Echolalia. Stimming. Reinforcement. Sensory processing. The list goes on—and somehow, parents and teachers are expected to know what all of it means!

That’s exactly why I wrote Learning the Language of Autism: An A to Z Guide for Parents and Teachers.

I wanted to create the resource I wish I could have handed families and new teachers years ago—something that explains the terminology without making you feel like you need another degree to understand it. Inside, I break down more than 130 autism-related terms in plain language, share practical strategies you can actually use, and add a little encouragement along the way.

Because understanding the terminology isn’t really about knowing a bunch of fancy words. It’s about better understanding the child in front of you.

My goal is simple: I want you to close this book feeling more informed, more confident, and better equipped to advocate for, teach, and support the amazing children in your life.
