EXCEPTIONAL CHILD 360
About Sarah.

I'm a Nationally Certified School Psychologist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst with nearly two decades of experience helping children and families navigate learning, behavior, development, and special education.
Over the course of my career, I've evaluated hundreds of children with a wide range of learning and developmental needs and helped families translate complicated evaluations, diagnoses, and school data into practical plans. My background in behavior analysis adds another layer, allowing me to look beyond what a child is doing to understand why it's happening and what can help.
What makes my approach different is the combination of psychology, learning, behavior, and special education expertise. Rather than looking at one piece of the puzzle, I help parents connect the dots, understand the whole child, and make confident decisions about what to do next.
One expert. Four areas of expertise. A more complete picture of your child.
-
CHILD DEVELOPMENT & PSYCHOLOGY
-
Understanding ADHD, autism, emotional-behavioral needs, development, and how individual differences affect a child's everyday functioning.
-
-
COGNITION & LEARNING
-
Understanding how a child thinks and learns through cognitive, academic, and processing assessment, including identifying learning disabilities and interpreting complex evaluation results.
-
-
BEHAVIOR
-
Understanding why behavior happens and developing practical, evidence-based strategies that build skills and create meaningful change.
-
-
SPECIAL EDUCATION
-
Navigating IEPs, 504s, eligibility, accommodations, services, evaluations, and school systems so parents understand their options and can advocate effectively.
-
And I'm a parent, too.
My professional experience gives me the expertise to guide families, but being a mom has given me an entirely different perspective. I understand that parents don't need more jargon, judgment, or information to sort through. They need someone who will listen, help make sense of the options, and give them practical next steps that actually fit their child and family.
