I have personal and professional experience working with children who have mild to severe behaior and emotional challenges. I am trained and experienced in diffusing negative behavior and redirecting children to make good choices. I have a good knowledge base on ADHD, ADD, Sensory Integration Disorder, Autism, Aspergers, depression, anxiety, OCD and many other developmental and mental health disorders. I strongly believe that children are the experts at telling us what they need even if it is not verbally.
