I've completed one semester of graduate school where I received intensive training working with children with various neurodevelopmental disabilities. I'm particularly familiar with autism spectrum disorders, but I have a general knowledge about most disabilities. Although most of my professional and volunteer experience has been with children and adolescents, I would love to the opportunity to work with adults as well! I have lots of experience working with children with disabilities as a clinician, a volunteer, an advocate and a caregiver. I can take on all of these roles as needed to make sure your child/children are getting the best care possible. If you would like to know more about my experience, send me a message and I will be happy to send you a copy of my resume!

    Alexandra is a very dedicated, calm, responsible and trustworthy individual. She comes highly recommended, as she keeps a cool head in times when you need her and she follows through with creative solutions rather quickly. Not only that, but she is funny and communicative. She comes with a great deal of experience and history when it comes to special needs children/adolescents, having worked with them many times before, and is very knowledgeable as to how to interact and care for them. She works great with children, and I highly recommend her to anyone.
