Terri Corcoran
Terri Corcoran lives in Falls Church, Virginia, and has been a full-time caregiver for her husband Vince since 2004. Vince is severely disabled physically and mentally by the genetic condition Fragile X-Associated Tremor Ataxia Syndrome. Terri is on the Board of Directors of the Well Spouse® Association, which offers support and resources for spousal caregivers. She also serves as the association’s PR chairperson and as the editor of their newsletter Mainstay. She has published articles, and has been interviewed for magazine articles and on radio shows about Fragile X-Associated Tremor Ataxia Syndrome and the unique challenges of spousal caregiving. Although not formally trained in caregiving, she has, by necessity, become well-educated in the trials of family caregivers.
