I work with parents and schools to help their children. I offer an integrative approach that looks at all aspects of the individual child and his or her environment. I can make sense of medical records, school reports and parent's reports as well as data provided by occupational and speech therapists. I am knowledgeable of bio medical approaches and alternative practices.
Behavior is complex and may be affected by many variables. "Why is my child biting?" "Why is my kid screaming?" There could be different answers for the same question. One child screams for attention while another screams to avoid following a teacher's direction....yet another will scream because his ears are always extremely sensitive to noise, or he might have an ear infection....
Every child is unique, every child has his strengths and weaknesses. I help reduce the weaknesses and bring out the strengths. Children are amazing and to those that are having a hard time at home or at school I can provide tools for a better and more successful existence.
