Since completing my work in abnormal child behaviors, I have been working in the field of public education and in private practice as a behavioral therapist, diagnostician and psychologist. Eight of these years have been spent researching and developing for human behavior discipline and management by adopting an industry-based standard of achievement. I took these standards of industry and adapted them to behavior management programs.
Expertise is in the application of Invasive Behavior Modification (Applied Behavior Analysis) for childhood disorders, teenage family dynamics, young adults and the elderly cognitive disabled. Specialization in Psychological, Emotional, and Neurological and Achievement assessment for elementary, secondary and post-secondary disabilities, (evaluations for petition for testing Accommodations based on Learning Disabilities per American with Disabilities Act following National Conference of Bar Examiners and ACT). Specialization in application of Cognitive Behavior Therapy for adolescent programs: Clinical, School wide, Family. I am the author of one other book on child behavior, which is due for publication in the fall: Boys Town. How group therapy can fulfill critical needs of the individual. I am on the board of directors of an educational publishing company as a consultant.
I am the director for the Parent Intervention Clinic as a behavior psychologist for family/teenage diagnosis and adult behavior management. As a La Mer Medical team member, I serve the family needs and behavioral care for elderly cognitive disabilities. Intervention education encompass the family, as well as nursing home staff. I work on corporate management teams to assist in motivational growth by altering patterns of ineffective behavior.
