APRIL'S PHILOSOPHY
Kids Can Do... All Because of You
Are you a parent of a toddler who isn’t walking or talking or has questions about their development that keep you up at night? April will guide you through the next steps to take, providing resources, strategies, and collaboration with other therapists or specialists to get your child on their way to meeting their appropriate milestones.
​
As children leave early intervention in the home setting, they most likely move to a school setting. This can be a challenging time for parents. Knowing how to meet your child's needs in out-of-home environments, understanding your child's rights, and the laws as well as navigating the system can be overwhelming at times. With April’s knowledge and expertise, you can learn these things in the comfort of your home. April will guide you through the process step-by-step and will attend IEP’s if needed. April’s goal is to give you the tools to feel confident in getting your child an appropriate free and appropriate education.
With her intense experience working with children with Autism, Sensory Processing disorder, prematurity, ADHD, Down Syndrome, unidentified developmental delays, and seizure disorder, April takes an individualized holistic approach when working with families. She doesn’t agree with a, “one size fits all approach”. Respecting each family’s culture, diversity, socioeconomic class, and religious beliefs while developing the best plan for your child and your family is of utmost importance to her.
