Special Education Leader and Ben's Grandma
My name is Jen Kaufman. As an educational leader and school principal at a specialized school for learners with autism in Paramus, NJ, where I've dedicated my career to supporting students on the spectrum and their families. I'm also proudly Ben's grandma—Ben has autism and is the light of my life.
This unique dual perspective has given me invaluable insights that textbooks alone could never provide. Through my professional expertise and experience in autism education and the profound personal journey of being Sam's grandmother, I've discovered strategies and approaches that bridge understanding and create meaningful connections.
My passion for helping children with special needs who learn differently has now led me to expand my reach beyond my immediate circle. I'm committed to sharing both my professional knowledge and heartfelt personal experiences to help other grandparents navigate their own journeys with their autistic grandchildren.
By standing at this intersection of professional and personal understanding, I offer a unique perspective that resonates with both families and educators, transforming potential challenges into opportunities for deeper connection and joy.
