Learning, Language and Behaviour

Expert support for families parenting neurodiverse children and youth

Parent Coaching

Sharing over 30 years of experience working with neurodiverse children, youth and adults to help caregivers develop the skills necessary to parent confidently, even before your child has a diagnosis.

Focus on what is important to your family

I will help you identify what is important to your family, choose meaningful goals, take steps toward those goals and measure your success using simple to keep data that makes it easy to see your progress.

No Diagnosis Necessary

Families do not need to have a formal diagnosis to address skill deficits and challenging behaviours. I cannot diagnose your child, but I can help you identify the functional language and daily living skills your child needs to be as successful as possible at home, in the community and at school.

Improve the Quality of your interactions, not the Quantity

You already have hundreds of interactions with your child throughout the day. I can help you learn strategies to ensure those interactions create a context for learning, language, and the development of positive behaviour patterns.

I offer consultation services to schools, districts, health care professionals and and behaviour analysts.

Complex Needs

Consultation, Clinical Coordination for individuals with developmental disabilities who are also experiencing mental health challenges

Severe Behaviour

Training

I offer training for direct care staff, teachers, mental health and medical professionals, and first responders who interact with individuals with developmental disabilities

BLOG

I'm a research geek and when I read something that matches my own experience as a person, parent or practitioner I feel compelled to share. Check out my blog for summaries of the research that guides the way I live, (grand)parent, and work.
