Behavioral Support Services for Young Adults with Autism

Customized Support for Young Adults with Special Needs

I work with children, teens and adults who learn differently, especially when nothing else has worked. I look at the whole person and the whole family, find the missing pieces, and teach them in steps small enough to succeed.

How does it work?

Rates are shared during your discovery call.

Services are billed by invoice. Payment is due within 7 days of the invoice date, by card through Stripe. Assessment fees are due before testing begins. If an invoice is more than 30 days past due, services pause until the account is current
