MY PHILOSOPHY

I use the science of behavior to uncover the truth and provide clarity where autism and developmental needs intersect with legal questions.

By applying principles of ABA, developmental psychology, and over 25 years of clinical and leadership experience, I help courts, attorneys, and legal teams understand:

  • How autism actually manifests in daily functioning — not just diagnostic criteria
  • Whether proposed interventions are evidence-based or unproven
  • What services, supports, and accommodations are truly necessary
  • How behavioral and developmental needs impact parenting capacity, educational outcomes, life care planning, and long-term independence
  • What environmental modifications and support systems will foster meaningful progress

This science-based approach ensures my testimony is not only objective and defensible, but also grounded in real-world implementation — informed by decades of designing programs, supervising clinical teams, and working directly with children, families, and systems.

My goal is to bring evidence-based clarity to complex questions so courts can make informed decisions that truly serve the best interests of children, families, and individuals with autism.
