My goal is to train others to be compassionate and mindful as they care for our youngest citizens. I directed early childhood development centers for fifteen (15) years and recognize that the teachers of our future leaders need much support. I provide professional development seminars for child care professionals virtually and in person to early childhood staff. Today, children are connected via electronic devices, and as teachers, we must help them to connect socially with one another and with us as teachers. Students must know that you value them as a person; once they feel a teacher cares for them and respects them, then you have an opportunity to teach them. My philosophy in regard to teaching is that we should meet children where they are developmentally and without expectations. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer. Children come from diverse backgrounds—culturally, economically, and educationally—and their experiences are varied as well. Teachers must discern the ‘key’ that will work for each child, as all children are unique. I received my AA from Indian River Community College in 1992; this is now Indian River State College; BS in paralegal studies and information technology from Nova Southeastern in Ft. Lauderdale in 1992, and my master’s in the Art of Teaching in December 2009 from Walden University. While enrolled at Walden University, I was concurrently enrolled at Montgomery College, taking foundational courses in Early Childhood. I am now a doctoral candidate in the Instructional Technology & Distance Education (ITDE) Doctoral Program at Nova Southeastern University completing my degree May 2024.

I am an educator with 30 years of experience in the field of education. Currently, I am I am an associate professor of literacy education in an Upstate New York higher education institution. I am also a therapy dog handler. I am passionate about incorporating dog therapy creatively and innovatively in education to help children in reducing their anxiety and increasing their engagement and motivation to learn in all subjects. In order to achieve this goal, I innovate in my own dog therapy practice. Dog therapy shows tremendous benefits but experimentation in the area is only in its beginning stages. I have spoken about this topic both nationally and internationally. Let's connect and collaborate on spreading more awareness about dog therapy to help all children and their parents! Katie Baron, a therapy dog handler, speaks about me: "At the National Dog Show Therapy Dog Symposium Rowan University held on December 8, 2023, Dr. Barbara Vokatis spoke about the benefits of therapy dogs in the classroom - not just as a calming presence, but as active participants in the learning process for the children. Her passion and eloquence when speaking about her experiences with Carmel in the classroom inspire me to do more with my therapy dog."

When you look back at the timeline of your life, what urge do you find inside of yourself that needs to come out? For myself, the song of creativity has lived within my heart since I was 7 years old, when I discovered drawing. Little did I know from such an early age that it would not only become my prime source of joy but in fact save my life when I needed it most. Being diagnosed with Asperger's, watching my parents getting divorced, feeling disconnected from peers around me, all at the same time contributed to a deep loneliness that took many years to climb out from underneath. Many assumptions exist around people on the spectrum, not the least of which is a lack of ability to connect with others, let alone form a family of their own. Today, I'm proud to say I've not only accomplished these but many other feats unseen in those who came before me, and I'm here to show what people on the spectrum are truly capable of while giving my younger self all that he never thought he could have. In addition to conquering chronic suicidal depression and addiction, I'm a first generation college graduate, creative entrepreneur and educator, husband and father, podcast host, Founding member of an international organization, mythical visual artist, published illustrator and public speaker. My mission is to demonstrate and break open assumptions about what's possible for people on the spectrum, to reverse the narrative of deficiency and lean into that which we already know: We hold greatness inside ourselves and it's time we truly step into that seat of brilliance!
