Miceli teaches in the Autism and Behavioural Science Graduate Program at St. Clair College. Her family's journey has been highlighted in The Drive Magazine, on CTV News, TVO Today's The Agenda with Steve Paikin and CBC National News. Rita is the past president of Autism Ontario (Windsor/Essex Chapter) and has published works on multiple platforms related to special needs and autism, including "A Call to Action" (Autism Matters) and "Words that Connect Us" (Canadian Authors Association).

A bit about Rita’s book:
“Giaci and Me” delves into the essence of faith, culture, and the family bond. It is a narrative of trust, courage, and boundless love. Rita’s journey may be uniquely hers, but within its pages, you will discover universal guideposts for your own path.
Rita wished for guidance at the beginning of her journey as a mother of an autistic child—her book is that wished-for guide. Spanning decades from the early days of diagnosis to moments of unexpected joy, "Giaci and Me" is a testament to the empathetic and compassionate support that can elevate the lives of families living with autism.
Praise for Giaci and Me:
“A devoted mother who has worked hard to teach her autistic son many skills, Rita Miceli’s son Giaci now lives a full life with a job he really likes. Through her practice of tolerance and procedural routine, Miceli teaches us that autism cannot be cured, but it can be worked with.”
