I recieved my degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from Columbia University and have consulted home based programs in New York and Portland. I have worked with children with special needs in both school and home settings since 2000. I specialize in verbal behavior, Relationship Development Intervention (RDI), theory of mind, and social groups/play skills. All programs are individualized to children and family needs and incorporate goals to teach across all domains. I believe that with a positive approach and the science of applied behavior analysis all children have the potential to learn.
