I know what it feels like to be lost in the autism treatment maze. It’s a lonely, scary place. But, I also know what it’s like to come out on the other side – to see real transformations take place.
I’ve been in the autism world for over 2 decades first as a confused parent and then as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
Over the past 2 decades, I’ve worked directly with hundreds of children with autism and have trained thousands of professionals and parents worldwide through my online courses. Many children have made miraculous gains.
But that’s not every story. With autism numbers rising exponentially, there are millions of parents and children who desperately need help and have nowhere to turn.
The Turn Autism Around® Approach is designed to teach you effective ABA techniques so that you and your child can live happier, more productive lives.
The maze is difficult to navigate but with the right approach, you can get unstuck and take back control.
I’ll see you inside!
In as little as 15-minutes a day, you’ll be able to implement an effective treatment plan for your child or client.
This journey is difficult to walk alone. Be inspired by other parents and professionals who know what it’s like to walk in your shoes.
Gain confidence, competence, and life-long relationships by growing alongside other autism professionals.
