My practice consists primarily of independent evaluations and consultation. My experience lies largely in the areas of augmentative alternative communication (AAC), working with individuals with autism, and students with significant language learning disabilities. I have spent almost 40 years working with children and adolescents with autism; in public and private school settings, in day and residential programs. I have a strong background in applied behavior analysis, but also with naturalistic and environmental approaches. I focus on development of language and literacy skills, especially for students who are primarily nonverbal. I am familiar with the whole range of augmentative communication systems, and teaching strategies for developing genuine communication skills. I also worked in a public school district with students in substantially separate language-based classrooms, both team-teaching with special education teachers and transitioning students into general education settings. I perform independent evaluations for families and schools, looking closely at specific areas of strength and weakness in order to make recommendations that will help make student successful in an appropriate academic setting. I perform AAC evaluations for a wide range of individuals with all types of disabilities and needs. I try to best match the individual’s needs to the features available in no-tech, low-tech, and/or high-technology AAC systems. I am familiar with the range of alternate access possibilities, the needs of students with cortical vision impairments, and in training partners as scanners.
