If you need special ed support, or behavior support -- let me help! I have a degree in Special Education and a K-12 SPED license, with 13+ years of experience working with children and young adults from 6 weeks to 21 years old. My background spans Montessori and Waldorf school settings, special education teaching, and behavior specialist work across school, home, and clinical settings. I've supported more than 100 families directly over my years, so I understand the full picture -- not just the child, but the whole family system. I have a particular love for supporting kids who are navigating behavior challenges, and I've worked extensively with ADHD, ASD, SPD, and a wide range of cognitive and learning differences. I lead with positive behavior supports and social-emotional learning, helping kids not just manage their behavior but truly understand it. Working with children is my absolute passion, and I bring that energy and heart to every family I work with. Feel free to reach out!
We are so very happy and appreciative of Nana. She has only worked with us for a few weeks now and we are seeing dramatic, positive changes and development in our boys. She gives me all the tools I need as a mom to understand my boys behaviors and help them through it. She gives us detailed explanation of behaviors, approaches to help them develop, proven research, and progress reports. It greatly helps me to see what activities are beneficial and in what way. It is very obvious that she is very educated and knows what she is doing as the results are just amazing. She works with the boys with all sorts of sensory activities and includes my husband and I, so we can all work as a team. We are so very happy to have found her.. An answer to MANY prayers!
