I specialize in assessing individuals of all ages known or suspected to be on the autism spectrum and advocating for all individuals and their families who struggle with the challenges of accessing services. Having worked as an educator/therapist and administrator in the public and private school settings, I provide support and guidance by reviewing IEPS and 504 plans and participating in ESE meetings.
I am certificated to administer the ADOS- 2 for children and adults, assess and treat pragmatic language disorders, and provide social skills training for all ages. As a certified Hanen therapist, I educate parents on how to increase and improve communication skills across a variety of settings.
As a certified ASD clinical specialist, I work collaboratively with physicians, autism navigators, therapists, and clinical and school representatives to gain access to much needed services for my clients and their families.
