Jackie also created a social media page with over 12,000 followers. She speaks to classes and schools about special needs, inclusion, and anti-bullying. Jackie is dedicated to helping families and strengthening communities. She and her family reside in Wheaton, Illinois. “The IncRETTibles” is her family’s journey with Rett syndrome.
