I've dedicated most of my life to supporting and serving individuals with developmental, intellectual, and neurodivergent needs through countless volunteer events, SPED classroom work, respite care, job coaching, and supported employment with clients ranging from ages 3 to 75yrs old. I've also spent nearly four years facilitating ABA therapy, centering restorative practices, play-based learning, and nervous-system-focused support. I have hands-on experience with AAC devices, foundational ASL, and facilitating meaningful communication and emotional and co-regulation. I'm currently attending IVC to become a Speech Language Pathologist. I'm committed to relationship-based, autonomy-affirming care and do not subscribe to compliance-driven or archaic behaviorist approaches. Disability rights and advocacy aren't up for discussion!
