Special Needs & Developmental Support Experience: Deep Personal & Professional Roots: My childcare career actually began over 12 years ago caring for a child with special needs, whom I successfully taught to read, write, and swim Clinical Expertise: As an ASHA-certified SLPA, I work daily in schools with children presenting a wide range of diverse abilities and neurodivergent profiles (including Autism, Down syndrome, ADHD, speech/language delays, and developmental delays). Milestone & Goal-Oriented: I love helping children hit their unique developmental milestones. Whether your child uses an AAC device (communication app/board), struggles with social communication, or needs specific behavioral routines, I know how to integrate support into our fun summer day.
