ADD/ADHD
I have a great deal of knowledge and experience with ADD/ADHD. For all the challenges these kids have, I really like them. They are often bright and very creative. I have worked with them as a teacher, as a behaviorist in homes and schools, and a therapist. I have taught classes on ADD/ADHD to teachers. I also have some dearly loved family members with ADD/ADHD.
Aspergers
I have a great deal of knowledge and experience with Asperger's Sydrome. I have worked with this as a behavior interventionist and supervisor and as therapist. Many kids with Aspergers are extremely smart, but their linear thinking and lack of understanding social cues gets in the way. I know the characteristics and understand how to work with them.
autism
I have a great deal of knowledge and experience working with children who have Autism. I have worked with them both in the classroom and in their homes. I have worked on their behaviors and their school work. Each child with Autism is different. I know how to tailor a lesson to their learning style. Many Autistic children are much more affectionate and capable than stereotyped descriptions ever even hint at.
