Consultants:
The Consultant typically has a Master’s degree in Special Education, with additional training in proven strategies to help neurodiverse children learn. With the family’s input, the consultant will develop a personalized plan to help enhance skills related to communication, play with friends, and learning in a classroom environment. They may also contribute to the creation of programs to support life skills such as toileting, sleeping, and expanding food repertoires. Older children may also focus on school work and social skills. Wonder Society’s Consultants are committed to ensuring your child is moving forward and meeting their full potential.
