Having been raised with a sibling on the spectrum, I am now the mother of a son with autism. Personal experiences have fueled my passion and desire to work professionally with special needs children and their families to help them reach their full potential in life. My position on the Board of Directors a Developmental Center for Autism has allowed me the opportunity to assist families from many diverse situations in obtaining the services and support specific to their circumstances. Through hands-on experience, I have been instrumental in instituting programs and events designed to address the social skills deficit commonly experienced by children on the spectrum. I am a certified behavioral assistant. I can provide level 1 and 2 background checks upon request.

    Heaven is amazing. She is completely dedicated to her work. Heavens passion to work with individuals with special needs comes from the heart. She has worked with my 6 year old daughter who is Autistic for over a year. Her patients and diligence with special needs individuals reflects in the positive results I have seen first hand. I have had the opportunity to see her work with other individuals on the spectrum through her volunteer work at this developmental center where she is a respected board member. She has directed programs for different age groups for individuals with special needs. Heaven is dependable, consistent and dedicated to her profession. I highly recommend her services. Michele P.
