Ms. Wootton is a wonderful mom and has been a valuable resource in East Tennessee for families affected by Autism and other disabilities. She's a real go-getter and a tremendous advocate. When her daughter was diagnosed with PDD-NOS three years ago, there were scant resources for parents who needed answers. Even among the medical community and the school systems. No one seemed to know where to go or who to talk to. Ms. Wootton has played a large roll in establishing and maintaining this support system. She has done this for her daughter and for all parents of newly-diagnosed children.

I am a Speech-Language Pathologist who is trained in the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis. My therapy team and I utilize these principles with children in order to enhance language skills, decrease undesirable behaviors, increase social skills, and improve functional abilities (to name just a few!). We have seen tremendous improvement with children who participate in the in-home/in-school therapy programs that we are able to implement. Our role in the therapy process includes: collaboration with other professionals (Teachers, Speech therapists, Occupational therapists, Physical therapists, etc.), family training, one-on-one therapists, and trainers of other individuals interested in using the ABA principles with your child. The number of therapy hours recommended per week is different for each child. After an initial evaluation is completed, we are able to determine what therapy frequency would be most beneficial for your child. Following the evaluation, a therapist will set up a therapy program that is individualized to fit your child�s needs and abilities.
