Kristen has worked with my son with PDD-NOS in his home-based program for 2 years. She has helped him to grow by establishing a relationship with him that is truly loving, accepting and fun.  She shows up with incredible excitement and thoroughly enjoys playing with him.  She has a genuine desire to bring out the best in children and I have watched her evolve into a very effective therapist who continues to proactively educate herself about Autism Spectrum and Related Disorders.  I am more than happy to recommend her to any family with a special needs child.
