Please see my babysitter profile if you are interested in childcare for your child with special needs. I am the proud single mother to 2 teens with complex special needs. I am a transracial adoptive parent who has personal experience navigating state systems including DCF, DMH, MBHP and Masshealth. Professionally, I have worked as a teacher for over 20 years, and earned a Master's degree in Reading from Wheelock College. I completed the Parent Consultant Training Institute facilitated by the Federation of Children with Special Needs. In addition to educational advocacy, parent coaching, and systems navigation, I can provide consultations to families and schools regarding care coordination, therapeutic needs, home and school based interventions, and referrals to agencies and experts.
