My care philosophy
In my work with children and families, I use several sources of information to learn about how the child is functioning in different contexts (family, home, and community) and to try to identify the basis for any current concerns. I then strive to work with families to develop a treatment plan that will capitalize on the child's strengths and support the child in areas of weakness to promote an optimal developmental trajectory.
