Let’s Talk About One-to-One…

I work one-to-one with children and the adults in their lives. This work happens in classrooms, in homes, on Zoom, and in other settings — depending on the specific situation.

In classrooms - I work with children

I offer private:

  • Special Education Itinerant Teaching (SEIT) services for children 3-5 years old

  • Special Instruction (SI) for children 0-3 years old

My work supports their development of:

  • Pragmatic language

  • Social skills

  • General classroom functioning

  • Self regulation

I work with a therapeutic team to approach and strategize about developmental goals, including:

  • Speech & Language Therapists

  • Occupational Therapists

  • Physical Therapists

I support your child’s goals to make time in the classroom productive and successful.

Outside classrooms - I work with children and adults

I offer play therapy sessions for children 0-5 years old in 60 minute sessions, usually at home. Play therapy is a way for a child to work on global development through play, including these themes:

  • Social emotional regulation

  • Language & communication

  • Social skills

  • Cognitive learning

I also offer parenting support, alongside play therapy or as a separate service.

  • During the initial session, I collect a comprehensive family history and begin to understand your child, your parenting style, the questions you have, and the challenges you are facing. You leave the initial session with at least a few strategies to get started with. 

  • Subsequent sessions will help you feel empowered in your parenting decisions and help you understand your child’s developmental stage. Customizable plans may include these topics:

  • Transitions — between activities, caregivers, and routines

  • Behavior — and how should I adjust my expectations to the current environment?

  • Parenting amongst others — including partners, caregivers, extended family

  • Sleep

  • Potty training

  • Creating routines and setting boundaries

  • Sibling relationships

  • Developmental milestones

  • Developmental variations — diagnosed or undiagnosed special needs

  • Self-care & managing expectations and guilt

  • How to set up play experiences

  • Expectations of play

  • Extending play with household items

  • Managing educational expectations

  • Balancing family schedules

  • Changes in behavior and regression

  • Language to use with your children around the changing world

Cost

My private client rate is $225 per hour, with a half-hour minimum. A sliding scale is available in some situations.

It all starts with a conversation

Please suggest a few times that might be convenient and whether you prefer meeting on Zoom or speaking on the phone.
