Laura Belz, M.S., TLLP

I am available to design and implement home ABA (applied behavior analysis) programs for children with autism and other developmental conditions. In addition to home ABA work, I am also available for several other services. For clients of any age or ability level, I can provide ABA-based academic tutoring, particularly in the areas of math (through high school level), science, and English. I would also be happy to analyze specific problem behaviors or skill deficits and design appropriate interventions.

I currently have a TLLP (temporary limited license in psychology) and am working on getting my LLP (limited license in psychology). A fully licensed Ph.D. in psychology is supervising my work. My master's degree (from Eastern Michigan University) is in Clinical Behavioral Psychology and my bachelor's degree is in biology. For my master's thesis I designed, implemented, and evaluated an intervention to teach question-asking skills to two autistic children and to help them generalize these skills through naturalistic instruction.

I have eleven years' experience working in home ABA programs with children with autism and other developmental disabilities (ranging in ages from two and a half years to 12 years), and have recently started developing home programs for young children with autism. I also have experience with academic tutoring for clients with and without developmental or learning disabilities, including older children, gifted children, adolescents, and some adults.
