Services
I offer individualized, relationship-based services designed to support communication, social understanding, and meaningful participation across environments. Services are tailored to each child’s developmental profile and may include direct intervention, collaboration, and system-level support.
Direct Therapy
Individual therapy sessions are personalized and grounded in real-world application. Based on each child’s unique developmental profile and goals, therapy may focus on strengthening social communication, language development, flexibility, emotional regulation, and self-understanding.
In social communication work, areas frequently addressed include social problem-solving, perspective-taking, shared attention, executive functioning, collaboration within a group, and the development of self-advocacy skills.
Assessments
Comprehensive evaluations help clarify a child’s strengths, areas of need, and diagnostic considerations, while providing a roadmap for meaningful intervention and support. My assessments are individualized and designed to understand not only how a child performs on standardized measures, but how they function across real-world environments. My goal is to provide families with clarity, direction, and a nuanced understanding of their child’s social learning style and communication differences that informs next steps.
Depending on the referral question, an evaluation may include:
Standardized speech-language assessments
Informal assessment of social cognition and communication
Observation across settings (home, school, or clinic when appropriate)
Caregiver interviews and developmental history review
Collaboration with educators and other providers
Record review (IEPs, prior evaluations, medical or neuropsych reports)
Assessments may focus on social-pragmatic communication, language comprehension and expression, selective mutism, speech sound production, and executive functioning, among other areas. Written reports include a detailed summary of findings, diagnostic impressions when appropriate, and clear, practical recommendations tailored to the child’s developmental profile and daily environments.
School-Based Support
School-based support provides insight into how a child navigates academic expectations, peer dynamics, and social demands in real time. When appropriate, sessions may occur on site, allowing intervention and observation to take place directly within the classroom or school environment.
This work may include classroom observations, collaboration with educational teams, participation in meetings, and ongoing consultation to ensure alignment across environments. The goal is not simply to add recommendations, but to thoughtfully integrate supports that are practical, sustainable, and developmentally attuned.
Home-Based Support
Home-based support allows therapy to extend beyond the clinic and into a child’s natural environment. Working within the home provides valuable insight into daily routines, transitions, sibling dynamics, and real-life social demands. Sessions may focus on supporting communication during everyday routines, facilitating peer interactions, coaching caregivers in real time, and strengthening flexibility, independence, and problem-solving within naturally occurring situations.
The goal is not simply skill development, but meaningful generalization, ensuring that strategies feel practical, sustainable, and integrated into daily life rather than confined to structured sessions.
Caregiver Support
Caregiver support provides space to better understand your child’s communication style, emotional needs, and underlying patterns. Together, we explore practical strategies that can be woven into everyday routines, helping you feel more confident and aligned in how you respond to challenges. This collaborative process supports consistency across environments and strengthens the relationship at the center of growth.
