Dr. Katie Croce has worked as a behavior analyst and special education program coordinator in schools, homes, and an in-patient hospital for children and adolescents with ASD/DD/ID. One of Katie’s greatest joys is developing clinic programs for individuals with ASD including social skills programs, an inclusive summer camp, a respite program, a sports program, a college-bound retreat for students with ASD interested in attending college, and a support program for college students with ASD. Dr. Croce is currently an Associate Professor of Psychology at Holy Family University, creating and teaching undergraduate and graduate course work in ASD and ABA. Those who know Katie know she is happiest when wearing Lilly Pulitzer. She is very involved with her kids school and cheering them on the sidelines at sporting events. She loves to travel and having her toes in the sand.
