How I Help
Professional services
At Diversity Kids, I provide a range of special education and behavioral support services tailored to the unique needs of each child.
Observation, learning, and behavioral assessment
Observations and assessments to understand each child’s unique strengths, challenges, and learning profile. Classroom observations and evidence-based assessments and practices form the basis for designing appropriate accommodations for students in the school environment.
This process is different from clinical diagnosis.
IEP development
Developing tailored plans to support academic, social, and emotional development, as well as intervention types based on the student’s needs.
Behavior management and interventions
Designing practical strategies to address challenging behaviors and promote positive relationships.
Differentiated instruction
By combining UDL and differentiated instruction, we create an inclusive, supportive, and engaging learning environment that builds confidence, independence, and lifelong skills.
Social skills group
Facilitating small groups to help children develop their communication, cooperation, and social friendship skills.
Self-regulation skills
Teaching children effective strategies for managing emotions, impulse control, and coping with daily challenges.
Social-emotional learning approach
Promoting emotional intelligence, empathy, and healthy relationships.
Executive functioning skills coaching
Helping children develop planning, organization, memory, problem-solving skills, task initiation, flexible thinking, and self-monitoring abilities to succeed academically, socially, and in daily routines.
Who I Work With
School & Daycares
At Diversity Kids, I believe every child deserves understanding, support, and the opportunity to succeed. I work with children with diverse developmental, behavioral, and learning needs in group settings. As a special education consultant, I understand the daily realities educators face—balancing multiple needs, supporting social-emotional development, and maintaining a structured, positive environment. I combine evidence-based approaches with social-emotional learning techniques to provide personalized guidance for children and empower educators to create nurturing, inclusive environments where every child feels safe, valued, and capable of thriving.
Who I Work With
For Parents
At Diversity Kids, I recognize that every child is unique, and as a parent, you want the best support to help your child thrive. I work closely with children in daycare or school, offering private tutoring tailored to the child’s specific developmental, behavioral, and learning needs, delivered in a supportive and compassionate way. My services help neurodivergent children develop emotional regulation, social skills, positive behavior, and executive functioning skills through individualized assessments and interventions. I work closely with families and educators to highlight each child’s strengths and challenges and provide practical tools that can be applied every day. Interventions are designed in alignment with daycare and school expectations to ensure consistency and meaningful progress across environments.
