Overview

I dream of a time when all children, regardless of their abilities or limitations, are easily and completely included into society. My mission is to help kids with special needs thrive while helping parents conquer stress, fear, and overwhelm. As a special needs therapist of 30 years and the Founder & CEO of Special Advantage, I work with children with any special need in person & virtually. I work with kids from birth to 7 years old, and also coach parents and families who are: ★ frustrated and exhausted trying to navigate the systems ★ unsure how to best support their child (of any age) ★ struggling with limiting beliefs and self sabotaging behaviors ★ experiencing negative emotions such as worry, guilt & anxiety ★ wanting to help their child grow up and live a happy, independent life Children with special needs are AMAZING and have gifts they offer so freely once you’re open to seeing them. MY APPROACH IS DIFFERENT Special needs have been a feature of my entire life! 10 members of my family have needs ranging from autism to seizures to brain trauma. With unconditional love, acceptance, and support for their special needs, kids can grow up to be happy, contributing members of society. I have worked with thousands of clients, including families of top executives at: ● Amazon ● Google ● Facebook ● Apple Through working with me, my clients achieve results including: ★ a happier, more peaceful home ★ better quality of life for all family members ★ greater understanding of their child’s needs ★ improved certainty about their child’s future QUALIFICATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS ● Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Special Education (Summa Cum Laude) ● Certified NLP Master Practitioner ● Certified Master Executive Coach & Life Coach ● Early Childhood Mental Health Practitioner ▸ 📞: 650-218-1884 ▸ ✉: Denise@SpecialAdvantage.com ▸ https://specialadvantage.com #specialneedschildren #parentingcoach #emotioncoaching #childdevelopmentspecialist
