I have been an educator (both general and special education), behavioral analyst, editor, author, and consultant for over 20 years. Having experience in secondary and college-level classrooms and behavioral clinics from Pre-K-12, my current pursuits are on behavioral intervention in both the educational and community settings. A unique mix of training and graduate education in technology integration and autism spectrum disorders affords me the tools in providing innovative solutions to challenging situations while allowing for practical, successful implementation.
I believe that disabilities should be re-stated as all-abilities and that cognitive differences are really a result of neurodiversity. Individuals with ASD, for instance, may have less success and more challenging behaviors when we as parents, educators, and therapists try to change what comes naturally to them.
ABA at Raising the Ground is not clinic-based intervention. We use in-home and in-school services to provide a person-centered plan, including wrap-around and collaborative planning. We do not use compliance training; instead, we respect the individual and provide alternatives to the function of the behavior.
