Amy McCoy

Amy’s middle-grade novels explore a young girl’s relationship with her brother who has autism and her efforts to make her peers more understanding of those with special needs. Amy, a former elementary school teacher, also works for a nonprofit whose mission is to help families raising children with disabilities navigate the world of special education.

Garden City School District is looking to expand their vocational training opportunities for our special education high school students. If you have a place of business in or around Garden City and would like to open your doors to our kids, please let us know!
