As a professional I feel it my duty to provide my clients and parents of children with special needs, with information regarding other professionals. I am passionate about empowering families to make informed decisions about the healthcare of their child. I know I can’t do it all, and so I have and continue to build a trusted network of skilled professionals who can help.
It is my distinct pleasure to introduce Brenna Noland. I have worked with Brenna for the past 17 months, and in this time I have noted and observed her amazing abilities to work with families and their children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Not only do I respect and trust her work; I look forward to collaborating with her because every time I do, I learn!
During the school year, Brenna works full-time as an Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) teacher and autism specialist for a local school district. The majority of her current caseload is children who have been identified as having an autism spectrum disorder (or who are displaying red flags for ASD) between the ages of 18 months and 5 years old. She has over 6 years of experience working with children with special needs and their families.
She received her ECSE degree from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire in 2005 and her Master’s of Arts in Autism Spectrum Disorders from the University of St. Thomas in February of 2011. All of the graduate credits that she received outside of the ASD program came from her coursework in the Emotional or Behavioral Disorders program. While she specializes in working with children with ASD and those with behavior challenges, she also enjoys working with children with overall developmental delays.
She has received training in various methodologies; however, she believes in using a variety of evidence-based strategies based on each child’s interests, strengths and needs rather than sticking to the strategies that compose one single methodology. The variety of strategies that she has learned over the years enables her to provide effective instruction geared towards increasing skills in young children across each developmental domain within daily routines.
For families looking for help and assistance, or collaboration regarding their child with Autism Spectrum Disorders, please visit Breanna's website at http://3bstherapy.com.
Respectfully,
The Candid Therapist
