Hi! I'm Joy, and I bring over 7 years of experience working with children with autism and other developmental needs. I began in 2018 at a specialized school and have since provided in-home and clinic-based ABA therapy as a Registered Behavior Technician. I hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology and am completing my PhD, with clinical training at top children's hospitals-including autism specialty centers. I'll be starting at a Hospital here in DC soon. I specialize in supporting communication (verbal and nonverbal), sensory needs, routines, and behavior regulation. I offer warm, responsive care tailored to your child's unique strengths and needs, and I'm happy to collaborate with families and care teams. Available days, evenings and weekends!
