ADD/ADHD
As a licensed Speech Therapist, I served many ADD/ADHD clients. Using Paced Auditory Serial Attention Tasks, I was able to help families avoid medicating their children or lower their medications. This also made all other interventions, such as academic, more effective. I have multiple certifications in Temporal Processing and Advanced Pediatric Temporal Processing. I have raving reviews from parents of ADHD children.
Aspergers
As a licensed Speech Therapist I worked effectively with pediatric Aspergers clients, correcting social impairments, communication difficulties and motor coordination issues.
autism
As a licensed Speech Therapist, my work with autistic children ranged from preschoolers to adults. (Diagnosis can't be made prior to 3 yrs of age.) Using techniques such as Applied Behavioral Analysis and Temporal Processing techniques, my autistic clients were able to overcome many common autistic behaviors. I have several reviews online from parents of autistic clients.

My son took a liking to her immediately. Bridgette is very professional and efficient in her teaching. Unlike myself, she has always been on time and prepared. My son is enjoying reading a little more due his increased confidence because of her instant success. I would highly recommend her as a tutor. Bridgette is wonderful! My son arrives at his tutoring session with a frown and leaves happy and motivated to read the next book in his favorite series. One of our goals was for our child to enjoy reading and I think that is starting to happen. If your child has special needs consider Bridgette. She has a way with connecting and engaging our child. I am so happy we found her!

I was very pleased with Bridgette's style with my boys. Both of my boys have high energy, but she was more prepared than I was to address that. She was thorough in obtaining baseline information on both of my children. She was patient in explaining her process to me. She answered all of my questions and gave me new information. She is knowledgeable in her methods. Her assessments of the lessons was precious. She was able to clearly identify target areas that my children need to address yet provided them with positive feedback on their progress. I highly recommend her. She has given me hope for my boys and some amazing tools.

Bridgette is an amazing tutor. She has a wonderful personality and is willing to answer any questions I may have. My son works well with Bridgette and looks forward to meeting with her. We recently found out my sixteen year old has dyslexia. After three months of working with him he has moved up four levels in reading, with better processing, attention and improved self-esteem. I highly recommend Bridgette for a tutor. She moves them quickly through so that they see quick results without being bored or discouraged.

Bridgette was engaging with her tutoring. My son was very skeptical of the process. However, by the end of the session, he said, "She was really nice even though we had to do a bunch of testing". Her evaluation was very thorough and a great deal of time was spent in preparation. She is very knowledgeable and utilizes many different techniques in her approach to tutoring. I feel blessed that we found her and would highly recommend her. 9.4.2014 I continue to be impressed with Bridgette. Not only with her communication with me but also with her relationship that she has with my son. He is excited to learn in subjects that have previously been a struggle for him. Thank you Bridgette.
