Karen Siff Exkorn Biography

Karen Siff Exkorn is author of The Autism Sourcebook: Everything You Need to Know About Diagnosis, Treatment, Coping and Healing—from a Mother Whose Child Recovered. Siff Exkorn has appeared on TV on ABC's Nightline in 2001 and 2005 in segments that profiled her son’s journey through autism, and on ABC's The View. The Autism Sourcebook was featured on ABC’s Good Morning America, where Dr. Timothy Johnson said, “I was blown away by how carefully this author had pulled together so much information in one place. I think it is a book every parent with a child should get.” She has appeared on national and international radio shows, including NPR. The Autism Sourcebook has been featured in newspapers and parenting magazines all over the world. 

Siff Exkorn is a dynamic and inspiring public speaker who specializes in giving keynote addresses, motivational speeches, and corporate seminars in the U.S. and internationally. As founder and President of KAS Consulting Inc, a corporate training company, her client list includes Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, and non-profit organizations.

Following her son Jake’s diagnosis with autism, Siff Exkorn was determined to relate her personal odyssey to her professional life and to bring her message of hope and possibility to others. A featured speaker at New York University’s Stern School of Business Entrepreneurship Conference, Siff Exkorn shared her vision of leadership both in terms of running a successful consulting company and managing her son’s home therapy program. As the keynote speaker at graduation for NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Studies, she spoke about the need for hope in the midst of changing priorities. She is a lecturer on autism at Columbia University’s graduate school of Psychology. In all of her management skills seminars, she continues to incorporate the wisdom and teach the lessons she learned through her experiences with Jake’s journey.

Since her son Jake's recovery from autism and the success of her best-selling book, The Autism Sourcebook, Siff Exkorn has transferred her skills as a public speaker from the corporate world to the world of autism. She is a keynote speaker at autism benefits and delivers motivational seminars and workshops at autism conferences worldwide.

Siff Exkorn received her B.A. in Psychology from Brown University and her M.A. in Performance Studies from NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Studies, where she serves on the Dean’s Council. She is a graduate of the clinical training program at the Mind/Body Institute at Harvard Medical School. She serves on the board of the New York Center for Autism and is actively involved in many autism organizations.

Siff Exkorn and her husband established the Siff Exkorn Family Foundation, which provides funding for research and treatment of autism. She donates a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of The Autism Sourcebook to autism organizations worldwide.
