- Name: Amalia Starr
- About Me: I am a mother to an autistic adult son, a motivational speaker, an independent living coach, and author of Raising Brandon. I specialize in supporting parents of children with autism and special needs through workshops, seminars, and private sessions. Utilizing a background in sales and marketing, I was the host of a cable show dedicated to parents who had children with special needs. My results-based approach focuses on empowering both parents and their children to reach their full potential. Starr's newly released book, Raising Brandon, is an autobiographical account of her struggle to raise her son in a world where autism was not understood. The book follows Starr's life from the birth of her youngest son, his diagnosis with autism, intractable epilepsy, severe learning disorders, and her goal to help him live his dream of independence.
