Services

I help families with children in preschool through middle school. I do this by offering a spectrum of support, ranging from short term consultations through comprehensive and ongoing support.

My services are hourly-based allowing for flexibility and for families to utilize as little or as much help as they need at a given time.

I have experience working with children with a wide range of differences (including but not limited to: ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, developmental delays, children who utilize a total communication approach, etc.)

My Services Include:

  • Mapping a child’s strengths, challenges and needs

  • Reviewing school and private evaluations

  • Helping families assess the pros and cons of pursuing school-based  vs private therapies

  • Collaborating with school personnel to facilitate best possible outcome for the child

  • Matching families with appropriate private evaluators and service providers, including occupational therapists, speech therapists, physical therapists, social skills groups, psychologists and counselors, and summer programs/camps

  • Managing and collaborating with existing and new service providers to facilitate consistent implementation of service plans

  • Supporting families who are pursuing special education support, including the Child Find process, eligibility and writing and implementing individualized education plans (IEP) or 504 plans
