I raised an adopted boy with PDD-NOS. I am familiar with the unique challenges that come with language delays, low frustration tolerance with the consequent behavioral fallout, sensory integration dysfunction and social skills deficits that cause feelings of isolation. I am also keenly aware of the impact on the family and their needs for respite and support with a caregiver that fosters feelings of security and safety. I am familiar with floor time techniques, that promote language and emotional development.
