I am a neurodiversity affirming speech-language therapist and family support coach. I have over 20 years of experience supporting functional and natural communication of autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent children. Establishing connections with children in order for them to feel safe, seen and secure is the core value of my support. Digging deeper than observable behaviors to find the communicative meaning or driving force behind the behaviors. "Behavior is Communication". Therapy focuses on strength and interested based child-led activities fostering connection and communication. Family and professional coaching available individually or in groups. Trauma informed strategies and support provided for gestalt language processing, sensory regulation, co/self regulation, executive functioning, and more. Consistency is key, this is a marathon not a sprint. First Things First: Connection-Regulation-Learning. ♾️🫶🏼
