C.A.S.E., Inc. - Comprehensive Autism Services & Education, Inc.

        
     Leilani Wakin joined the Napa C.A.S.E. team in June 2009 as an ABA Interventionist. In May 2008 she graduated from UC Berkeley with major concentrations in Psychology and Social Welfare. Leilani’s ultimate goal is to pursue her Masters in Public Health concurrently with her M.D. and eventually become a pediatrician. Ideally, she’d like to improve the healthcare system and develop community-level programs to assist families in living active, healthier lives.

    With six younger siblings and volunteer experience with local summer camps, Leilani has spent quite a bit of her life as a role model working with children. Her first personal experience with autism came with the opportunity to provide regular one-on-one care for a young woman. Inspired by this experience, Leilani has enthusiastically embraced the challenge of her role in providing early intervention for children on the autism spectrum. Outside of C.A.S.E. she enjoys singing, cooking, hiking, reading, and spending time with her wonderful family and friends."
