I have many years of experience working with both special needs as well as neurotypical children, adolescents, young adults and adults. I have worked with individuals ranging in age from 6 months to over 21 years. I gain a vested interest in the successes and accomplishments of those that I come to work with, some families I have worked with for over 10 years. I get to know each individual's likes and dislikes and always build in incidental teaching to help encourage independence and self-sufficiency. I have experience working with children utilizing an ABA approach as well as working with parents and educators on IEP and ISP goals. I have worked with children and adults with challenging behaviors, and I work closely with their team to troubleshoot strategies. Jonathan
