Who I Work With
Understanding each learner’s profile
General experience isn’t enough. Each of these profiles presents differently at different ages, calls for different school environments, and requires knowing which programs in the DMV actually deliver what they promise.
ADHD presents very differently at 7 versus 15. I understand how it affects learning at each developmental stage and which school structures — size, pacing, executive function support — make the biggest difference.
ASD spans an enormous range of needs and strengths. I work with families to find environments that can genuinely meet their child where they are — socially, academically, and sensory-wise.
Dyslexia, dyscalculia, language-based learning disabilities — many families don’t know the private schools that specialize in these, or the evidence-based interventions that make a real difference. I do.
Anxiety, depression, and school avoidance also present differently by age. The right school environment — culture, counseling support, academic pressure — can be as important as any therapy.
