I have worked with individuals of varying disabilities for 10+ years. I'm a board certified behavior analyst (BCBA) and have two masters, one in Autism and Applied Behavior Analysis and the other in Teaching as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I'm a general and special education teacher birth through 6th grade. I practice ABA which is the science of behavior and changing the environment to get the behaviors changes you would like to see. I promote positive reinforcement and praise to increase positive behaviors and try to eliminate the use of punishment. I am open to tutoring, babysitting, nannying, behavioral support, parent training, etc. Message me for more details or questions. Prices are based on service. Thank you!

    Rachel has been helping us home school our children for the past six months. We have one child (1st grade) with special needs and one child (5th grade) who is advanced. She is remarkable with both of them. She keeps them both on task, she has fun with them, and she stays very organized under these strange "home school" circumstances. She is particularly skilled with our 1st grader who struggles with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. Her patience is remarkable. She has been an absolute godsend and we are so grateful for her.
