Care for children with autism and developmental needs
Finding someone equipped to care for a child with autism is hard, and leaving them with someone who doesn't understand their needs isn't an option. I hold a master's in Special Education and Autism, a master's in Psychological Counseling, and a bachelor's in Speech Therapy.
That means I'm not improvising: I work with visual supports, I preview transitions, I recognize signs of sensory overload before they escalate, and I respect whatever communication system your child already uses — spoken language, signs, or a device.
What's included
- Visual supports and transition previews to reduce anxiety
- Sensory activities adapted to your child's profile
- Early recognition of overload signals and regulation strategies
- Respect for and use of the communication system your child already has
- Continuity with the strategies used at home and in therapy
Ideal for
- Children with autism or developmental needs
- Families needing experienced, trained care
How it works
- You tell me the diagnosis, the supports they use, and what works
- We arrange a shorter first visit so they can meet me without pressure
- I follow the strategies you already use at home — I don't invent new ones
- I share how the session went and what worked best
Frequently asked questions
What specific training do you have?
A bachelor's in Speech Therapy, a master's in Special Education and Autism, and a master's in Psychological Counseling, plus 8+ years of direct experience with children.
Can you follow my child's therapy plan?
Yes. I don't replace their therapists, but I do carry through the strategies they already use so your child doesn't lose ground between sessions.
What if my child is non-speaking?
I work with whatever communication system they already use: signs, picture cards, a device, or their own gestures. What matters is that they feel understood, not that they speak.
