The focus of my services is behavioral education/training and autism awareness for families and professionals. * Please note that if you are looking for direct care ABA services for your child/ren, please visit: www.bacb.com.  Through both personal and professional experience, autism and behavior challenges often go hand-in-hand.  Behavioral training through Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) can help families teach their child/ren, who are on the autism spectrum, how to achieve their utmost potential both academically and personally.  ABA when incorporated with tools such as the Picture Exchange System (PECS), visual boards or schedules, or augmentative devices can assist with promoting functional behaviors and communication.

 

 

With the prevalence of autism in the United States, I am available for autism awareness training for both families and staff.  The training consists of but is not limited to understanding the signs of autism, the importance of early detection and early intervention, navigating special education process, community services, how to work with or cope with the challenging behaviors of children with autism, helping families teach daily living skills, and promoting functional behaviors. 

I educate parents on how to become effective advocates through one-on-one training or in a group meeting.  Parents will be made aware of the services available for their child and offered referrals to community agencies.  My parent advocate training includes, but is not limited to educating a parent how to read their child's I.E.P., understanding your child's evaluations, etc.
