Special Educator | Author | Behavior Analyst
Since 2000 my goal has been to help clinicians, teachers and parents identify and understand the variables that cause students to act inappropriately. I’ve worked continuously with students who exhibited an infinite variety of behavior challenges in both urban and suburban public schools.
I show how commonplace school factors, as well as the student’s underdeveloped skills, contribute to his or her challenging behavior. I provide professionals with time-tested interventions that will lead their students to more appropriate, constructive behavior in and out of school. I give parents tools to continue the work at home.
Working together we can help every child achieve a positive and productive life.
