Elaine Hall inspires hope.” Temple Grandin

Elaine Hall’s Miracle Project is a ‘miracle’—a miracle of ingenuity, human intimacy, and creativity. This magnificent work vividly demonstrates the joy and hope of discovering the creative and emotional capacities that exist in all children but especially in those children with autism and other special needs.” —        Stanley I. Greenspan, MD, author, Engaging Autism and The Child with Special Needs, Creator of Floortime.

“Superlatives do not do justice in capturing Elaine’s special qualities and talents.  As a Jewish educator and one who lives a life guided by deep spiritual values, her teachings include, but go well beyond our obligation to support others, and how to implement strategies to support people with disabilities.  She is able to help us all to reflect on, and reframe our perceptions and stereotypes that create barriers and limit possibilities for those with special needs.  She is an innovative and “out-of-the-box” thinker, who does not allow her vision of respect and opportunity for all persons to be limited by traditional boundaries. She speaks with the experience and credibility of one who has “seen it all”, being a parent of a young adult son with autism and one who remains intimately connected with other families raising individuals with disabilities. 

Elaine is able to serve in many roles, as an articulate motivational speaker for large general audiences, as well as an insightful and perceptive consultant who has the rare talent to size up a situation more quickly than seems possible, and then to offer specific constructive suggestions in a diplomatic and sensitive matter.  Of course, she has a special gift in connecting with parents, family members and persons with disabilities.” – Barry Prizant

Speaking:

“Elaine was the keynote speaker at the Variety Community Connection and Champion for Children Summit. She was so engaging and well-liked by the audience. Her ability to tell her story with warmth and humor keeps her audience listening and provides them a glimpse into how challenging having a child with autism can be.  The fact that her story is told in this way, provides encouragement for others, encourages advocacy and provides hope to so many families dealing with the same everyday challenges.

Variety the Children’s Charity of St. Louis has received very positive feedback about her keynote address.  Elaine will always be a Variety friend.” Barb Kramer, Program Director, Variety, The Children’s Charity of St. Louis

Training:

“Thank you again for the wonderful presentation that you shared with us yesterday. I learned so much about autism but I think that what really struck a cord is that some of the behaviors that we see from the outside such as the flapping, banging, and other repetitive motions are not just impulsive and meaningless, but are forms of communication and comfort. That was very enlightening.” – Irene Graf Saiger, Caseworker Jewish Big Brothers Big Sisters of Los Angeles

As a therapist, the Miracle Project 7 Key Training changed my whole perspective – instead of looking at fixing a child’s weakness, we learn to honor his or her talents and strengths.  It is incredibly effective! ” –           Jean Hillman OT/PT

“The training literally puts you in the body of autism and things will never be the same.” – Rabbi Jackie Redner

“The 7 Keys work in all walks of life, and essential for kids with special needs – Amazing!” Shelly Cox, Founder of Step by Step

“You can’t meet Elaine Hall  and be the same person – it just doesn’t happen like that.  She is pure inspiration!” – Ryan Berman Masters of Social Work
