I bring a warm, compassionate, and deeply practical approach to early autism intervention, with a clear focus on acting early—when it matters most. I am among a small group of practitioners who specialize in working with infants as young as 6 months who are showing early signs of autism or developmental delays.

​

I believe strongly that time matters in early development -- and that early signs should be met with early action. The brain’s most rapid and flexible period does not wait for diagnoses, referrals, or long waitlists. When early signs emerge, families deserve clear guidance and ethical action, not reassurance to “wait and see.”

​

This belief led me to create The SPARC (Sequential Parent Curriculum)—a practical, step-by-step guide designed to empower parents of infants and toddlers (6–18 months) with time-sensitive, evidence-based tools they can use now, even while navigating assessments and limited service access. SPARC was built to bridge a critical gap in early intervention by placing parents at the center of meaningful change during this developmental window.

As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and professor, I translate research into real-world action, presenting and collaborating internationally across Europe, Asia, and North America. Across my work as a clinician, researcher, author, and educator, one principle guides everything I do: the window for greatest impact is early—and waiting should never be the plan.
