About Suzanne

Hi! I'm Suzanne, an energetic and compassionate care giver with over a decade of experience working with both autistic and neurotypical children. I have more recently added elder and dementia care to my skill set, after working for a year and a half with seniors with intellectual and developmental disabilities at the ARC mid Hudson in upstate New York. My primary professional focus has been guiding individuals with limited language facility to develop functional communication skills and addressing behavioral and sensory challenges. I am also trained as an acupressure massage therapist which adds a useful tool kit of calming strategies and emotional intelligence to meet people where they're at. I love arts, crafts, reading and writing and I truly love the mystery of getting to know what makes someone tick and seeing them thrive.
