Does ABA work for every autistic child?

ABA can be very effective for some children, but it’s not the right fit for everyone. Its success depends on your child’s unique needs, your family’s values, and how the program is implemented. Done correctly, ABA can lead to meaningful, lasting outcomes. Done incorrectly, it can have negative effects. I’m happy to discuss whether ABA might be a good fit for your child and family.

Is inclusion right for every child?

Inclusion can offer wonderful learning and social opportunities, but it’s not the right fit for every child. When implemented with proper support, children can gain meaningful experiences. If supports aren’t in place, a child may feel overwhelmed or not benefit fully. I can help families explore the learning environment that best supports their child’s growth and confidence.

How can I feel more confident in an IEP meeting?

IEP meetings can feel overwhelming, and it’s common for parents to go along with what the school suggests, even if some services are overlooked or underprovided. Confidence comes from preparation: knowing your child’s strengths and needs, understanding your rights, and having clear questions or goals. I provide guidance and strategies to help parents advocate effectively for the supports their child truly needs.

Does my child need tutoring services?

Some school systems are underfunded, and resources can be limited. If your child isn’t making meaningful progress in the school setting, especially when supported by data-driven academic interventions, it may be time to consider alternative approaches. Tutoring can provide the extra support they need to thrive. Tutoring offers personalized attention, helps reinforce learning, and can build confidence and independence. I can help you determine whether tutoring is the right fit for your child.
