Here are a few of the key insights we’ll explore:
💥 Parents as the Primary Language Facilitators
💥 Following Your Child’s Lead & Building on Motivation
💥 Creating Communicative Temptations
💥 Modeling, Not Testing
💥 Building Blocks of Sentences: Nouns + Verbs
💥 The Power of Questions (and the Right Order)

With expertise in autism, developmental delay, communication, and literacy, Paula has worked in homes, schools, and community settings, and in 2011 opened a private clinic in her hometown of Leamington. She continues to balance private practice with her role in the public school system.
A passionate educator, Paula has been a guest lecturer for St. Clair College’s Educational Assistant program and an active community volunteer, co-founding initiatives with Autism Ontario’s Windsor-Essex chapter and contributing to her Italian cultural community.
