Cinda Johnson, Ed.D., is Linea’s mother and co-author of the book, “Perfect Chaos“. Cinda is a professor and director of the special education graduate program at Seattle University. She is a national leader in the area of transition from high school to post-high school settings for young people with disabilities. She has written articles and book chapters in the area of secondary special education and transition services, including youth with emotional and behavioral disorders and mental illnesses.
Cinda said, that even though she teaches university students how to handle emotional disorders in others, it wasn’t until Linea became ill the first time while in college that she realized how unprepared she was to handle these crises when they involved someone in her family.
