Are you thinking about homeschooling?  Let's discuss how to get started and what you'll need to consider to decide if it's the best fit for you and your child.

Home-schooling your child with autism

I am the mom to an amazing 15-year-old boy who has autism, apraxia, sensory processing disorder, and a seizure disorder.  Over the years, I have tried my share of both traditional and non-traditional interventions for my son, and I want to share what I have learned from those experiences to help other parents.  

There are no "one-size-fits-all" answers for our kids, and I believe strongly that parents should be presented with options and be empowered to choose the treatments that resonate for their children.  We know our kids better than anyone and should be the leaders of our kids' teams, surrounding ourselves with people who believe in our kids as much as we do and who look at things from a holistic perspective. I would like to help parents be the leaders of their team and not have to feel at the mercy of others who don't know their child the way a parent does. 

Through the most challenging times of my son's journey, I have studied how to manage my own attitude so that I can be the most effective advocate and parent for him.  I want to pass along some of those attitudes and skills to again help empower parents.

Do you want to communicate more effectively with your nonspeaking or unreliably speaking child?  If traditional speech therapy approaches are not getting the results you're hoping for or if you just want to explore some new options, I would love to share the "outside the box" interventions that have worked for my son, including Spelling to Communicate, Son Rise, and PROMPT therapy.  Let's discuss your child's specific communication challenges and some options that may work for you!
