Bridge Our Expertise. Amplify Your Impact.

I am BOTH! A licensed therapist and an experienced coach, which is precisely what makes my approach unique.

I am a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with over 20 years of clinical experience in educational settings. For the last six years, I have also served as a full-time instructional coach within one of the nation's largest public school districts.

This dual background allows me to offer a truly integrated perspective. My therapeutic training ensures that every strategy I share is rooted in evidence-based practices for diagnosing and treating developmental delays and disorders. My coaching expertise allows me to translate that clinical knowledge into actionable steps, helping professionals enhance their performance, troubleshoot complex cases, and achieve their specific career goals.

What sets Speech & ABA Works apart is my deep commitment to SLP-BCBA collaboration. I’ve built my practice around the belief that these disciplines are most powerful when they work in tandem. My clients, whether they are SLPs, BCBAs, educators, or parents, come to me because they share this vision. They are seeking a collaborative partner who understands the nuances of managing cases for children with autism and special needs. Our shared goal is simple, to break down disciplinary silos and work together to enhance therapeutic outcomes for the children we serve.

All services are currently provided remotely via secure video conferencing, allowing me to work with clients from diverse backgrounds, including international clients, professionals and families within the Chinese-speaking communities across the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

There is no "typical" length because my coaching model is designed to be as flexible as your needs require.

Some professionals seek me out for targeted support on a specific clinical challenge. This might involve implementing an AAC device, developing an advanced language program, creating a speech sound program for a limited vocal learner, or troubleshooting a severe motor speech disorder. For these focused goals, clients often find they achieve the clarity and results they need in just a few months.

My practice is built on a foundation of mutual respect, understanding, and a simple focus: "helping you achieve your goals". That’s why I don’t believe in offering packages or a set number of sessions.

Instead, you have the freedom to choose a schedule that works for you. Some clients prefer weekly meetings for intensive support, while others opt for bi-weekly or monthly check-ins to maintain long-term collaboration. Each session is an opportunity for you to come prepared with real-world challenges from your practice, and for me to provide professional guidance grounded in the scientific principles of both Speech Pathology and ABA.

Ultimately, the duration is up to you. Some clients feel empowered after meeting a specific objective and move on, while many find the collaborative partnership so valuable that they choose to maintain it for years to come.

I completely understand your concern, and I welcome the opportunity to hear your experiences and answer any questions you may have.

While many in the Chinese-speaking community are still unfamiliar with the value of SLP-ABA collaboration, I have been among the first to openly discuss this topic in various cities and on social media platforms and podcasts.

I believe the current debate often pits ABA against neurodiversity-affirming practices unnecessarily. Here is how I see it: ABA is a neutral science of how learning happens, while neurodiversity-affirming practice is an essential ethical framework for how we apply that science. The problem is never the science of learning itself, but rather its application that neglects the learner's voice and preferences.

My goal is to use the science of learning to help neurodivergent individuals achieve their objectives, while always prioritizing respect, obtaining consent, protecting neurodivergent traits, and addressing only those challenges that impact safety, health, and quality of life.

At this time, I do not accept insurance. My services are focused on professional consultation and coaching, which are distinct from direct clinician-to-client therapy and are not billable through insurance plans.

Because this is a private-pay service, it allows us to focus entirely on your goals without the restrictions or documentation requirements. Payment is due at the time of booking.

If this policy changes in the future, I will be sure to update the information here on my website.

My standard rate for individual 1:1 consultations for SLPs, BCBAs, educators, or parents of autistic students is $150 USD per hour. All sessions are conducted virtually via Zoom.

For Group consultation rates, I welcome you to schedule a brief chat with me so we can discuss the specific needs of your team.

Regarding International Clients:

Yes, I do. I believe that quality guidance should be accessible regardless of location. Because geographical and economic circumstances vary widely outside of the United States, I offer special considerations for international clients. My goal is to ensure that families and professionals around the world and across Chinese-speaking communities can access affordable, high-quality support to improve their practice and outcomes. Please contact me directly to discuss a rate that works for your situation.

Yes, clinical supervision and professional development are fundamental aspects of my practice. I have extensive experience training special educators and practitioners who support students with autism in public schools, private clinics, and early childhood agencies.

My expertise has taken me around the world. I have been invited to speak at conferences and lead workshops in New York, New Jersey, Hong Kong, Beijing, Jinan, and Shanghai.

Please note that while I am available for in-person engagements, my primary focus is providing these services remotely to maximize my reach. If you are interested in hosting a training or workshop for your team, please contact me so we can discuss your goals and explore the best format to suit your needs.
