Welcome!

Raising children with special needs can be a positive, rewarding and life-fulfilling experience. While our path is clearly a different one than most families follow, I believe that with healthy support systems in place, our families can thrive and grow. The critical issue, the key, is to have family support: to have effective tools and parenting strategies that empower your family unit to be successful.

My goal is to provide you with these tools. Through workshops, individual consultations, home-based interventions, and support group facilitation, I can offer you individualized parenting strategies and family-focused educational interventions to improve your family quality-of-life.

Please browse this website and review the available services and current workshops. I know that our parenting path can be a challenging one, but with the right support our families can be happy, healthy and enjoyable!
