Hi Families! My name is Curtis, and I specialize in working with children who face social, emotional, or learning challenges. I'm the founder of Keen Kids, where I provide one-on-one support and guidance tailored to each child's needs. With over 10 years of experience, I've developed a unique approach, combining behavior management strategies with fun, engaging activities to help children build confidence and independence. In addition to one-on-one sessions, I also run weekly social groups every Saturday, where children can practice social skills in a fun, supportive environment alongside their peers. When you hire me, your loved one will not only receive personalized care but will also work towards developing practical skills that encourage independence and self-growth. I can accept habilitation hours or respite from DDD, ESA funds, or payment out of pocket. I look forward to connecting and exploring how I can support your family!

    Curtis has been working with our family for the past year. He works with our 12 year old son, who has autism, several times per week. They work on building skills to support independent living, perspective taking, flexibility and emotional regulation, all while having fun. Curtis is very personable, and from the first day we met him, we knew he was going to be a good match for our family. He is very professional, reliable, and highly skilled in special needs, yet he is very down to earth and approachable. My son adores him and looks forward to working with him each week. I highly recommend Curtis to any family that is looking for some support.
