Clinical Practice

There have been some changes (effective September 2006) as a result of the increased emphasis I have placed on expanding the use of my online assessment and treatment tools for schools and clinicians.  However, our L.U.N.C.H. social skills programs are still going strong. Common diagnoses of individuals who participate in our programs include: ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome, Oppositional Behavior, OCD, Social Anxiety, and High Functioning Autism (HFA). Social skills programs for adults are also available. Click here for details. I also conduct functional behavior assessments, primarily at the request of school districts or as an independent examiner.  more >>

Behavior Tools

Learn about our adaptive behavior and social-emotional assessment tool, C-BATT Rapid Screener. It was designed as a state-of-the art means for accurately assessing adaptive skills and interfering behaviors in a manner that is likely to reduce the need for proceeding to Due Process over test findings.  Its easy-to-use format automatically collects and analyzes rater information to provide a comprehensive overview of student behavior.  This program is HIPPA-compliant and provides enhanced understanding of student needs, leading to more productive meetings and solutions.  more >>
