Psychologist specializing in Psychoeducational and Neuropsychological Assessments for children with autism, learning disabilities. Independent Educational Evaluations for school districts.

At AblePathways, we believe that children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), other pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs) or developmental disabilities can be empowered to reach their true potential. We are dedicated to improving the lives of these children and helping their families cope with the stress and challenges that come with raising a child with learning, mental and physical disabilities.

AblePathways’ revolutionary Life Skills development program provides a unique and efficient way to deliver client-focused social skills development based on ABA principles.

The Academy for the Advancement of Children with Autism (AACA) is a newly-formed organization that offers information, education and treatment services for children with autism and other related disorders. The Academy is committed to the self-actualization of students affected by any aspect of autism.

AACA provides an academic solution to children facing developmental challenges. Specialized education curriculums are combined with individualized treatment programs to further the advancement of each child. No two children sharing the same diagnosis respond equally to the same exact course of treatment. Transition is also extremely difficult for most children facing these types of challenges. Therefore, AACA believes that to achieve the best results it is necessary to make many different types of treatments available so that each child's specific needs can be addressed.

The Academy offers the most cutting-edge research-based treatments available to date. There is also a clinic on site. Treatments available at AACA include:

- Adaptive PE
- Applied Behavior Analysis
- EGG Biofeedback
- Equine Therapy
- Floortime Therapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Parent Training
- Psychotherapy
- Respite Therapy
- Speech and Learning

Seeking therapy is one of your most important decisions. Therapy can have enormous life-altering consequences. As you stand at the crossroads of your future, finding the right therapist will be vital to the success of your journey. Therapy works best when you can safely share your deepest concerns and feel truly heard. Feeling that you are in capable hands and can trust the feedback and suggestions you are given will allow you to try out new ways of being in the world.
