Always mom first, and excited to be a grandmother as well, I am Dr. Geralyn Anderson Arango. I write, teach and consult on topics pertaining to intellectual disability across all phases of life. "What Would Nola Do?" is my memoir as caregiver of a son with a disability, a mom with dementia, and a friend with a traumatic brain injury...I learned so much I want to share with my readers! I am also the host of "Our Parallel Paths: A Future for My Loved One with a Disability… and For Me!" a podcast produced by Networks for Training and Development. My podcast covers topics that resonate with families like my own, navigating adult life and the future with our loved ones with intellectual disabilities.
I'm a Professor of Education, Emerita at Holy Family University in Philadelphia, PA.
