I am a Certified Music Therapist with ABA training and have over 25 years of experience working with various special needs populations. Most currently I have been working with children on the Autism Spectrum providing ABA/Language/Music therapy. I also have four adopted children with learning and emotional disabilities whom are now happy, healthy young adults. With the combined professional and personal experience I believe that I have a unique perspective with which to provide excellent care. I also provide advocate services, working closely with school systems throughout the area monitoring IEP progress and ensuring proper services for your child. I provide tutoring and I am certified in specialized reading programs such as Lindamood-Bell and Orton Gillingham. Please contact me for a full resume and references.
