| Practice Information |
Do you suspect that you or a family member may have Autism or Aspergers? Has the diagnosis been confirmed, but you need help dealing with social, emotional or behavioral issues?
I offer diagnostic evaluations for children, adolescents and adults suspected of having Autism or Aspergers (evaluations include the ADOS and ADI-R). In therapy, we address emotion and behavior management, social and daily living skills, and life transitions. Clients build social, empathy, perspective taking, communication and problem solving skills.
I have enjoyed working with individuals with ASD and their families for over 20 years. I use a variety of intervention strategies including TEACCH, Social Stories, Comic Strip Conversations, PECS, role play, and social autopsies. Caregivers receive support and assistance for dealing with behavior problems and developing strengths. My experiences with people with ASD and their families have been in residential facilities, schools, home-based therapy and traditional office-based therapy. I have published in the field of autism and enjoy public speaking about Autism and Asperger's related topics. |
