Services

Family Coaching

In-person (in your home or a neutral location) or online, I offer support and suggest options and solutions for areas of struggle in your family including behavior issues, family schedules and routines and sibling issues.
I am able to provide a trauma and/or attachment-informed perspective. 

Homeschool Coaching

I offer coaching and support to home educators in the areas of curriculum selection and implementation, scheduling, goal setting and overcoming challenges. 

Academic Screening

I offer screenings in math, reading, spelling, writing and handwriting. This information can be used to identify areas of struggle to focus on at home or to pursue additional testing. 

Tutoring

I offer tutoring in-person or online in the areas of reading, writing and spelling through high school and through 8th grade in math. I use the S.P.I.R.E. remedial reading program. I can work with you and your child using their current math curriculum or provide remedial materials. 

Executive Function Coaching

If your child or teen struggles with Executive Functions skills, I offer coaching to help identify and address needs through skill building and support. I am able to provide a trauma and/or attachment-informed perspective. 

Autism Spectrum Disorder Assessment

The ADOS-2 is appropriate for children 18 months old through adults. The typical process is as follows:

- A 30 minute Zoom or phone call with the parent(s) if the person is a child or teen, or the adult if that is who is pursuing an assessment, to answer questions about the process and determine whether the ADOS-2 is appropriate.

- A written Parent Interview or Self-Assessment as well as other information-gathering tools as needed.

- The ADOS-2 takes about one hour, usually performed in the home. 

- A results follow-up meeting within 2 weeks of the ADOS-2 appointment. 

Disclaimer

Please note - I am not a medical doctor or a licensed mental health professional, and some insurance programs, ASD support programs (such as Easter Seals) and school districts will not accept the results of an Autism assessment unless it is performed by one of these professionals. The results of the ADOS-2 are very helpful however they are used, but please be aware of the limitations.
