The Atlanta Autism Consortium is thrilled to welcome two new members to our Board of Directors, Feleshia Sams, owner of Academy of Advanced Cosmetics, and Licensed Clinical Psychologist Dr. Tyler Whitney.

Ms. Sams is the founder of Academy of Advanced Cosmetics, which specializes in training providers in permanent and medical cosmetics through an interactive classroom setting which allows for hands-on-learning and practice with state-of-the-art equipment. Ms. Sams is also a mother to a child with autism, and is passionate about making a difference in the Atlanta autism community.

Dr. Whitney has over 20+ years’ experience working clinically with children, adolescents and young adults and their families. His formal training includes post-doctoral training in pediatric neuropsychology, developmental psychology, and two years as a LEND fellow through the URLEND program, including the autism enhancement year (AE), and is a full member of INSAR (International Society of Autism Research). His unique training and experience in clinical psychology, developmental psychology, forensic psychology, and psychometrics, as well as decades of clinical experience, allow him to clearly communicate in writing and speech the basic science that will support forensic cases in the courts, in the media, and in community settings.

Please join us in welcoming Ms. Sams and Dr. Whitney to the AAC Board of Directors!
