autism
As a master's level therapist and PhD candidate working for various agencies, institutions and private practice over the years, I have extensive experience working with and teaching special needs to include autistic spectrum disorders. I provided outpatient services specifically utilizing ABA or Pivotal Response Therapy in play with young children. In the recent past I worked long-term with an Asperger's young adult who was engaged through this site which culminated in greatly improved outcomes.
Aspergers
As a practicing therapist and LD teacher of over 15 years, I have experience working with children and adults with Asperger’s disorder, or autism spectrum disorder as specified in the DSM. Although these individuals are challenged in cognitive and language development, they do exhibit the ability to learn quite effectively through visual cues. Abstractions present problems in reading comprehension so it is important to present concrete, tangible materials in the learning process. I have been very successful engaging these individuals, helping them exercise specific routines and rituals which bolster a stable learning environment.

I started working with Liz for help in getting prepared for the writing and verbal sections of the GREs. She has been a huge help and I have made leaps and bounds in both sections, particularly in the writing which was a very weak area for me in the beginning. Liz is also very good at helping establish effective and systematic study routines that are easy to follow and very thorough. I would highly recommend her help in any subject she is willing to work on with you.

Liz has been very accommodating with our schedule. She has been using the time spent with my daughter appropriately covering reading and math. My daughter enjoys working with her. She has also taken the initiative, with my permission, to order supplemental materials to help my daughter.

Liz showed me how to develop an essay far beyond college level. She Liz went far past what she needed to (and what I expected) and is very accommodating. One of if not THE best tutors I have had. Would highly recommend!
