Hi, I'm Sam, and I'm an adult AuDHD (Autistic+ADHD) music therapist in training, and caring for your Neurodivergent kid is one of my strengths. I focus on behavior as communication, not as "acting out" or "misbehaving." As a teacher I have worked with as many Neurodivergent and Disabled students as I have neurotypical and abled ones! Comfortable with high energy children as well as those with sensory needs, I will always treat your child with the respect and autonomy they deserve while giving them skills they will be able to use throughout the rest of their lives. My pricing for special needs kids is the same as for those without because I don't think that at their core kids are all that different. We all need love and support. Disabled/Neurodivergent children just need different kinds of love and support. All of that sound like a dream come true? Send me a message. I am so excited to meet your child.
