I come to NESA by the way of various positions within the disability services field. I spent a lot of time working at special adaptive summer camps where I learned first hand, how to make any sport or activity possible for anyone. It is with this attitude that I have developed fun and exciting adaptive programming to aide in your child’s growth and development.

I am the originator of Adaptive Imaging Technique (AIT), and the architect and facilitator for the unique Systematic Social Skills and Life Development part of the Progress Program. This is the only program of its kind, created specifically to develop the sophisticated skills required to successfully bring those with ASD through Middle school and beyond. Currently the only technique capable of developing neurotypical level social skills in those on the Autism Spectrum. The program is directed primarily at those on the high-end of the Spectrum, but also has low-end applications of critical importance. On the strength of this work I was invited to train with Dr Arnold Miller, the much copied Autism Intervention pioneer, and share my experience with his students. I have spoken for both the professional staff and parents group of TILL in Dedham, Ma, on both occasions being named, “by far the most interesting and informative speaker to date.” Along with AIT and advanced knowledge and original work in physical training and conditioning for both conventional and physical challenged individuals, I bring to this class my range of personal experience as an individual with ASD effectively dealing with social issues.
