About Us

I am a Speech Language Pathologist with 18 years of experience.  I specialize in working with children on the autism spectrum as well as complex cases.  I am currently working on a Floortime/DIR certification and I am about 2 1/2 years into the 5 year process.  I am also a PLAY Project consultant and deliver DIR based services through the PLAY Project.  In addition, I have advanced training and significant experience with feeding and oral motor disorders and sensory integration.   I enjoy looking at the whole child and helping the child relate and communicate utilizing the child’s strengths while building skills in the areas of need.

I am very excited to add PLAY Project services to my practice.  The PLAY Project is a home-based intervention program for young children on the Autism Spectrum.  It is a practical application of the DIR®/Floortime model of Stanley Greenspan, MD and Serena Wieder, PhD.  Through the program, parents are taught techniques that are effective, fun, and useful in day-to-day interactions with their child with autism.

• Selected videotaping of P.L.A.Y. interactions with written evaluations and feedback.
