My services are flexible. Contact me to discuss what would work best for you and your child. I am a full-time mom and understand the complexities of schedules. I look forward to working with you to develop a plan that would help you and your child to attain the best communication possible.
I use flash cards, toys, and visual prompts. I have found that using ‘hands on’ movements with the child helps them learn quicker than receptive instruction. I’ve been told that ‘I have a way with children.’ I do know that I love children and find great joy in helping them learn. From my youngest days as a babysitter to my current days as a mom, I have found children to be the highlight of my life.
