The goals of these sessions are to improve your child's listening and comprehension skills in order to help them respond approrpiately to questions asked.  The goal is to help improve their pragmatic language and social conversation, ability to infer information and make appropriate predictions.  As we work together, we will indirectly be working on keeping conversations going and staying on topic of conversation.  

I am a mother of a 15 year old boy who has autism.  I have successfully homeschooled him and have brought him from being non verbal at age 7,  with extremely low tests scores, to a highly verbal child with above average test scores.  I am passionate about helping children with special needs improve their social and conversational abilites while having fun.  I have learned that all children who are on the autism spectrum have unique interests and minds, which can be used to faciliate language more appropriately.  I have been tutoring children with special needs for several years.  I also run social groups for children with autism and teach music to special needs children.  I have a Master's Degree in nutrition and a Bachelor's degree in psychology.  I encouraged and supported my son, when he was only 13 years old, in writing and publsihing a book entitled "Maybe Autism Is My Superpower".  I feel such joy in helping children focus on their abilities instead of their disabilities and I encourage them share these gifts with others!
