About me
I am an Applied Behavior Analysis Specialist with extensive experience in skill acquisition and behavior intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental differences. In my practice, I prioritize compassionate, evidence-based approaches, including Dr. Greg Hanley’s trauma-informed PFA/SBT (Practical Functional Assessment/Skill-Based Treatment) framework, which ensures effective yet gentle intervention.
As a parent of a child with ASD, I deeply understand the challenges families face and am committed to supporting caregivers at every stage of therapy. My goal is to create a safe, neurodiversity-affirming space where each child can progress at their own pace, overcome barriers, and achieve meaningful milestones.
.
I also serve as a lecturer at MeleSchool, specializing in verbal behavior acquisition. In my practice, I actively implement Mark Dixon’s PEAK Relational Training System to enhance cognitive and language skills, and integrate ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) principles into my work with both children and parents.
Through lectures and webinars, I empower fellow professionals and families to better understand and support neurodiverse children, combining cutting-edge ABA methodologies with compassionate, trauma-informed care.
My goal
My goal is to help children with special needs and their families build harmonious, fulfilling lives through modern, compassionate, and evidence-based ABA practices. I believe every child deserves an individualized approach tailored to their unique needs.
