Accommodations

Determining whether formal accommodations are appropriate—and which accommodations are most likely to be effective—requires careful consideration of an individual's strengths, challenges, and everyday functioning. I work with children, adolescents, and adults to identify supports that are evidence-based, individualized, and designed to improve meaningful participation at school, work, and in daily life. The goal is not simply to obtain accommodations, but to ensure that they address genuine barriers while promoting long-term growth, independence, and success.

I provide consultation on accommodations across educational and workplace settings, including IEPs, 504 Plans, college disability services, standardized testing, professional licensing examinations, and workplace accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). I help individuals and families interpret evaluation findings, understand available options, prepare for meetings with schools or employers, and develop recommendations that are both clinically appropriate and practically implementable.

My approach emphasizes functional outcomes rather than checklists of accommodations. By considering cognitive abilities, executive functioning, emotional well-being, adaptive skills, and the specific demands of an individual's environment, I help develop support plans that balance access with autonomy. Accommodations should empower people to perform at their best while building the skills and confidence needed to thrive over time.
