About

This website serves as our connection to the world.  As we have immersed ourselves in as many different educational environments as we could, the absence of a web presence has limited our ability to expand and share our ideas and teaching methods with as many educators and families as possible.  We feel a responsibility to share with as many people as possible the potentially life-changing knowledge and methods we have developed through our years of experience.

Who are we?

We are educators who have noticed that while the abilities and needs of students don’t fit into any box, our educational system, delivery of Speech and Language services, Occupational Therapy, IEP writing, and behavior strategies come from one size fits all packages.  In particular, students with Autism are not served at their potential.  All too often, these students are not educated at their level due to inadequate knowledge of how to support their progress.  We believe that the way children and adults with differences are educated needs to change so that they have the best chance to offer as much as they can to society.  We waste countless hours on traditional teaching methods when we know those methods have not been working.  We have to educate ourselves before we educate others.  We are here to make meaningful suggestions that will help bring your child to his/her maximum learning capacity.
