I dream of a time when all children, regardless of their abilities or limitations, are easily and completely included into society. My mission is to help kids with special needs thrive while helping parents conquer stress, fear, and overwhelm.As a special needs therapist of 30 years and the Founder & CEO of Special Advantage, I work with children with any special need in person and virtually.I work with kids from birth to 7 years old, and also coach parents and families (regardless of their child's age) who are:★ frustrated and exhausted trying to navigate the systems★ unsure how to best support their child★ struggling with limiting beliefs and self sabotaging behaviors★ experiencing negative emotions such as worry, guilt, anxiety, and fear★ wanting to better understand and help their child grow up and live a happy, independent lifeChildren with special needs are AMAZING and have gifts they offer so freely once you’re open to seeing them. MY APPROACH IS DIFFERENTSpecial needs have been a feature of my entire life! In fact, 10 members of my family have needs ranging from autism to seizures to brain trauma and more.With unconditional love, acceptance, and support for their special needs, kids can grow up to be happy, contributing members of society.I have worked with thousands of clients, including families of top executives at:● Amazon● Google ● Facebook● Apple Through working with me, my clients achieve results including:★ a happier, more peaceful home★ reduced anxiety, stress, and overwhelm★ better relationships and quality of life for all family members★ greater understanding of their child’s needs★ improved certainty about their child’s future★ greater peace of mindQUALIFICATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS● Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Special Education (Summa Cum Laude) ● Certified NLP Master Practitioner● Certified Master Executive Coach & Certified Life Coach● Early Childhood Mental Health Practitioner▸ 📞: 650-218-1884▸ ✉: Denise@SpecialAdvantage.com▸ https://specialadvantage.com#specialneedschildren #parentingcoach #emotioncoaching #childdevelopmentspecialist #earlyinterventionist #autismsupport #downsyndromesupport #speechtherapy #specialneedsparenting

Parent Coach | Developmental Specialist | Ifec Mental Health Practitioner | Nlp Master PractitionerSpecial Advantage Jun 2006 - PresentSan Francisco Bay AreaAll too often parents of children with special needs are exhausted, frustrated and overwhelmed because they lack the support and guidance they need. They want to do all the right things to help their child grow up and live a happy, independent life, but struggle to know how to meet their child’s needs.They feel isolated, alone, and judged by others.While many therapists follow a deficit-based therapy model, focusing only on the child and their lack of skills, my services are family-focused & strength based.This inclusive approach increases parental confidence, while decreasing stress, overwhelm, and fear. My one-stop-shop includes programs that support the entire family: ✭Empowered Parent VIP Program✭Help Your Little Hero Succeed VIP Program✭From Willful to Wonderful Behavior Program✭Special Needs Connection Group Membership Program✭Peace of Mind Developmental Assessments✭Special Needs Parent Support & Discussion Groups✭Bye-Bye Diapers! Program✭Nighty Night, Sleep Tight Program✭Family First VIP Program✭Empowered Professional VIP Program✭Special Galapagos Island Cruise for Families with Special NeedsSpecial needs have been a feature of my entire professional and personal life.This experience - coupled with my role as a public speaker and professional trainer in the field - has led me to grow a tribe of special needs parents who are proactive, empowered, and hopeful about the future.#downsyndromesupport #preemiesupport #speechsupport #specialneedsfamilies #CPsupport #specialneedsfamily #specialneedskids #autismservices
