I have been working with children on the Autism Spectrum for over 10 years. I received my MA in Clinical Psychology and am currently working towards my BCBA certification. Most recently, I worked for the Achievement Centers for Children as the Parent Educator for the Autism program. I worked with 30 families and children in many different facets. Primarily, my goal is to help parents to create an appropriate living environment for their child with Autism. I help to provide structure within the home using visual supports and schedules. I also do direct one-on-one Applied Behavioral Analysis tutoring, incorporating aspects of floor time and play. I am passionate about my work because I have seen the positive results first hand and have celebrated many successes with both the parents and the children. The most rewarding part of what I do is watching the family come together to maximize the child's learning potential, whether that be academic or life skills. I would love the opportunity to work with a family that is committed to achieving overall success for both the family and the child.
