About
I am a Speech-Language Pathologist specializing in consultation and intervention for young people with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), Language Learning Disorders (LLD), and Non-Verbal Learning Disabilities (NVLD). I have PEERS program training as well as many years experience teaching and facilitating Social Thinking strategies. Through my work as a school district SLP and mother of teens with ADHD, I am familiar with the academic, social, emotional, and executive function challenges facing many students. I communicate regularly with school teams, parents, and community agencies in order to help them network effectively. I also strive to provide students with valuable, evidence-based “point of performance” strategies and experiences to further their success.
Happy New Year.
