About monica

I'm Monica, a former special education teacher and ABA practitioner with over 15 years of experience supporting neurodivergent children in school and home settings. I've worked with students with Autism, global apraxia, and a range of communication, sensory, and behavioral needs. My background includes public education, in-home ABA therapy, and specialized non-public school environments. I prioritize co-regulation, meaningful learning, and fun, helping children build independence, emotional regulation, and confidence. I've supported communication growth using AAC systems, developed executive functioning and daily living skills, and guided social connections through structured, supportive interactions. With a degree in Speech and Hearing, I bring a collaborative, language-rich approach. I'm seeking a role where I can partner with families to provide consistent, respectful, developmentally-informed care not just babysitting, but genuine support that makes a lasting impact.
