Specializes in Pediatrics - Developmental and Behavioral

Adaptive equipment: is tailored to level of function & need for supports in social communication, receptive/expressive language, self-help/adaptive, fine motor & other areas in a child with Autistic Spectrum Disorder; e.g., a picture-exchange program to promote communication of needs, available on iPads & notebooks. Behavioral & educational therapy for the child's developmental age remains the mainstay of treatment.
