Services
I offer one-on-one in-home therapeutic and tutoring services
for children and adults in the Washington, D.C. area with
Autism Spectrum Disorders[3]
and other disabilities. I use intensive intervention
programs that employ elements of both Applied Behavior
Analysis (ABA) and the
Developmental, Individual-Difference,
Relationship (DIR) model.

I offer services including:
• Academic tutoring
• Coaching on social skills and
understanding emotions
• Facilitating participation in sports and
other recreational activities
• Teaching life skills
• Supervising play dates
• Developing, revising, and implementing
programs and
• Providing guidance for families.

I emphasize “kids” or “children,”
but many of the same references can be applied to adults
with autism, and I also provide services to adults with
autism and other disabilities.

I occasionally use the term "autistic person".
Although it is more politically correct/ accepted to use the term "people with autism",
some people with autism have said they prefer the term "autistic person"

Hereafter “autism”
