I have hands-on, real world experience with autism, sensory processing disorders, developmental delays, and mobility issues. I also have a special interest in PDA (pathological demand avoidance), and am continuing my education in that area of study. My niece is autistic, and was non-verbal for the first 3 years of her life. I wanted to be helpful, and was curious about the methods used to reach her, so I trained to become an ABA therapist. Although this position ultimately wasn't the right fit for me, I have the foundation to help your child if you are using ABA. I do not work with the local ARC association (Northwest Wayne County only), there is no need to contact me if that is your funding source. If you have questions about this, or anything else, please message me. I look forward to hearing from you!
