I have been in the field of education working with the autistic community for over 6 years.
Since I believe in lifelong learning and value education, I recently completed The Speech-Language Pathology Essentials Program at San Diego State University. This program complimented my Bachelor’s degree in communication and my years of experience in the special needs educational arena, enabling me to enhance my skills in the areas of speech and language in working with clients. Throughout my time in the field of education and coaching, I have worked via zoom and in person with clients to provide them with individualized instruction that deals closely with their speech and phonetic skills along with other academic and social goals. I use a hands-on learning approach through an accredited speech therapy program “SLP Now”, as well as an online curriculum that tracks the progress of client’s overall growth, using evidence-based practices entailing academic subjects such as speech, reading, phonetics and grammar.
We are all unique in our learning styles, personalities and life goals. Adopting a “team” approach in my Coaching Practice, I work along side the client, and welcome the family and other professionals to create a specific plan addressing each client’s needs and goals. This allows the healthy integration of multi systems for optimal growth and thriving.
I have been in the field of education working with the autistic community for over 10 years.
