Joan Bucchino, MSEd, CLC

In 2006, Joan Bucchino started a 501c3 non-for-profit organization to raise funds and awareness towards a cure for MPSIII -Sanfilippo Syndrome, an incurable metabolic disease that afflicted her daughter Grace.  Joan felt that she could make more headway towards a cure for MPS by creating and sharing her new invention SMARTgame® with as many educators as possible.  SMARTgame's® creation was inspired by watching the behavioral learning techniques Grace's teachers used.  

Joan obtained her sales and marketing experience as an education account representative at Xerox and began her study of whole-health and self-empowerment when she became a lifetime member of Weight Watchers, and a fitness instructor over 35 years ago.  This journey continued when she was employed as a national presenter/speaker by internationally renowned self-help expert Anthony Robbins.  Joan's mission to empower young children with winning wellness mindsets was solidified when she became the Mother of Grace, who was perfectly "other-abled."  Joan is the President of J. Grace Corporation, WBE, DBE, has a dual masters-degree in special and general education, is a Souluna Certified life coach, and a Yoga Calm certified whole-child educator.
