Early Childhood Parent Support

As a parent of a young child, you may be struggling to figure out what is typical development and what is autism (or possible autism – pre-diagnosis).

My masters degree is in early childhood development and intervention. I am here to help you (1) figure out what is autism and what is typical development; (2) steer development towards balance and growth; (3) guide your own child or choose guides for them that target the right aspects of social engagement and well-being.

• Navigate the sea of information on autism and development, choosing what is right for you and your child
