Amanda Schiavone
Hi, I’m Amanda - wife, mother to 3 boys and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). I have been working in the field of Special Education and Applied Behavior Analysis for over 15 years supporting kiddos and their families across settings (from early intervention and home-based services to clinics and schools).
As both a professional and a parent, I know how important it is to feel seen, supported, and understood. I’ve always dreamt of creating a space where all families are welcome - no matter their age or ability. A place where families can come together, let their kiddos play freely, and connect with others who just “get it”.
My goal is to help families navigate the supports offered, while providing a joyful, inclusive environment where every child can explore, play, and just be themselves!
Jessica Russillo
My name is Jessica. I hold two bachelor’s degrees; one in Justice Studies, the other in Special Education with a concentration of Early Childhood. I worked as teacher in Providence for 15 years, in the range of Pre-K up to 5th grade in regular education and special education with a specialization in Autism. I am also a mom to 4 beautiful girls, one of whom is on the Autism Spectrum.
My passion is advocacy for populations who are often overlooked, left behind, or counted out. At All Play Haven I hope to help the voiceless find a voice even if it is without speaking, provide a safe space for parents like myself, and bring awareness to what acceptance actually looks and feels like.
