I've been connected to the special needs community my whole life as my older sister has nonverbal autism, and I was trained in the Rapid Prompt Method to communicate with her. This experience shaped my approach to care: patient, empathetic, and tailored to each child. After moving to New York, I worked one-on-one with a highly intelligent teen with severe autism. We explored science together through a custom biology course while also building his social and personal skills through routine, structure, and collaborative learning. These experiences deepened my understanding of neurodiversity and taught me how to adapt communication and care to meet individual needs. I bring calm, consistency, and compassion to every interaction and aim to create a space where each child feels seen, supported, and valued. I'd love to support your child and learn more about your family's needs.
