Rebecca Duvall Scott
Rebecca is an accomplished writer, being the recipient of numerous awards throughout her educational career at local, county and state levels. She was awarded the Horrigan’s Scholarship at Bellarmine University, where she graduated with a Bachelor’s in English. She considered herself a fiction writer, but when her son was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder and she began to blog about her ever-evolving research and his treatment plan, Sensational Kids, Sensational Families took root in her heart and this non-fiction memoir was born.
Rebecca lives with her husband, Eric, and their two children, Annabelle and Jacob, in Louisville, Kentucky. In addition to writing, Rebecca enjoys family, church, educating her children at home, painting and directing a local homeschool cooperative organization in which she works hard to accommodate all special needs.
