Susana

My name is Susana Montes. I am a parent, an advocate, and a client. I have known Daniela for over three years. I was very impressed by her as soon as I met her. She immediately connected with me and wanted to get to know my child to be able to work well with him. She listens carefully to my concerns, and questions. She is always fully present during our conversations. My child has made great progress thanks to her. She works very well, and respectfully with my child, and myself. Her interactions with my child, other children, parents, and professionals are truly remarkable and very enriching. I have continued to refer parents, and children to her because I know they will be in great hands. Daniela is very caring, genuine, reliable, and very happy person. I would like to recommend her, and her company/services. I am very confident families will be as happy as I am with Daniela. Thank you.

Daniela worked with my daughter for over four years. She did 1:1 ABA with my daughter and was instrumental in teaching critical life skills. Daniela is extremely knowledgeable in Applied Behavioral Analysis. My daughter instantly connected with Daniela and made significant progress when she worked with her. Daniela is creative and often thinks out of the box. She always had new ideas and was extremely caring and professional. Daniela worked closely with my daughter in the community, at home and in her classroom. She is a leader and any child that has the opportunity to work with her will definitely benefit from her expertise.

Stephanie Testimonial

Our five-year-old son has Asperger’s. The social and vestibular limitations associated with this diagnosis, in his case, are compounded by an acute emotional imbalance and a range of triggers that are difficult to identify and more difficult to address.

Since his initial meeting with Daniela, he has attained a psychological platform from which he has been able to successfully begin kindergarten in a positive and balanced state of mind. There is no question that for the most part, this is a result of Daniela’s work. And working with Daniela is all about results. POSITIVE results.

Daniela’s rapport with our son was immediate from their initial meeting. It was clear that she was exceptionally warm and charismatic and highly experienced in working with behaviorally challenged children. More significant, however, was the behavior plan that she incorporated for us. She gave us systems that our child loves working with (checklists for daily routines, rewards/behavior charts, and other visual charts that help organize our child and us, as parents). We were skeptical if our child would comply with these new tools but, instead, he is THRIVING as a result.

Prior to meeting Daniela a few months prior to starting kindergarten, our son had no internal map or sense of organization, in spite of our varied efforts to create a sense of order for him. We felt that his behavior would not sustain him in any school – however specialized – and we needed help to prepare him.

Daniela worked with our son individually to facilitate his transition into a new school environment and routine. She also instructed us as parents, and even our caregiver, separately on how to implement verbal cues and tools for him.
