Let Me Help You Support Your Special Needs Child

I have been a program specialist as well as a developmental training specialist and recently spent about three years supporting a child with autism.

I've worked for 10+ years in social services, helping families in various stages of their journey, as well as skills coaching for children and adolescents with special needs. I have completed my AAOT & AS degrees, and am wrapping up my bachelors in psychology, with a special interest in child/adolescent development. I am well...
