My resume which reflects my over 22 years experience is available upon request. I first became an ABA therapist in 2001 in Orange County. I became a Senior tutor and was an integral part of each child's wellness programs. I worked in school and home settings, therapy offices (OT/PT/ SLP/Vision) and social/public settings. I have also worked as a preschool teacher, a gymnastics teacher, high school wellness teacher, freestyle dance teacher, academic tutor and home school support. I also am a grant writer, and writing skills are a focus when I tutor kids or high school students. I blend my unique backgrounds, in dance and fitness, with my knowledge in developmental psychology and academics for a fun, purposeful interaction with each child. I would love to be considered to be a part of a team dedicated to your child's well being!

    Having known Candice for over 10 years, I have witnessed her in a myriad of professional capacities. It is when she is working with children; however, that her Passion and Dedication truly shine through. She continuously strives to positively impact the lives of those around her, especially those in need of specialized care, by imparting practical tools for growth. Using a firm, yet loving approach, she designs and implements personalized plans for the individual(s), based on their needs and desired outcomes. Several years ago, Candice was charged with running a weekly soccer program for youth with Autism. At the time, she had tremendous experience working with the population, but only some knowledge of the sport itself. She immediately began researching the rules of the game, studied coaching techniques in countless articles/books, and brought on experienced athletes as assistant coaches, to help bridge the gap between her knowledge of the population and how the game could teach them skills with practical application. She began the program with an initial assessment of each child, and spoke with the parents to understand their individual and group goals. She designed benchmark tests and implemented objectives for the goals, to evaluate each child's progress throughout the program. As one of the assistant coaches for this program, I observed Candice working in her element, providing a safe, fun, comfortable environment for the children, while providing them tools for personal growth and success. By the end of the program, some of the children had made great strides, and it was clear that every single one of them had had a great time participating! I was pleased to have the opportunity to write this testimonial, for Candice has impacted my life in so many huge and positive ways. Over the years, she has become a mentor to me, but above all else, she is an inspiration. I strongly recommend Candice's services to anyone seeking assistance in caring for their child....she'll provide them with support and guidance, while pushing them beyond their limits and fueling them with self-belief!
