Hello. My name is Kristen and I have a great deal of experience working with individuals with special needs. I specialize in working with children and young adults diagnosed with ASD as I was in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis for 4 years. Majority of the clients have Autism, but I have also provided services to individuals with Down Syndrome, ADHD, Cornelia de Lange syndrome, Fragile X, ODD and other developmental disabilities. I have worked with a range of ages... the youngest child being 2 years old and oldest young adult being 16 years old. I provided 1:1 services to individuals in the school setting, home setting, clinic setting, and community outings. My bachelor's degree from Cal State Northridge is in Communication Disorders and Sciences (speech) which has also helped me work with the special needs population. I am currently enrolled in courses at Ball State University, working to get my master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis.
