My Approach
Using positive behavior strategies to effect meaningful and lasting change.
Positive Behavioral Supports
You can rest assured that behavioral support will be conducted in a positive and child-led manner. Neurodiversity is respected and celebrated. If behavioral support is required, strategies used honor the preferences and strengths of the child as an individual.
Fundamentals of Applied Behavior Analysis
As your nanny works with your child to practice skills, simple reinforcement strategies and basic behavioral techniques will be used to shape behaviors.
