SARA MEISELS
Development
I work with each child's stage in development and meet them where they are. We work through each of their needs based on their physical and emotional development.
Individual Differences
No child has a disability. They have a different ability. Each child's needs differ from the next. I work with each child's individual profile to help them reach their potential.
Relationship
Perhaps the most important part of working with a child is developing a safe and deep connection with them. This is the primary goal of my work.
Floortime
This is where the fun begins. As we play, we learn deep lessons and many skills that will help your child in their daily life. We work with the full picture to help your child thrive.
My Approach
I believe that every child can do great things! Through the DIR® model, I work with children to help them learn social and emotional skills that allow them to reach their potential. Working with children in their home environment, helps them learn skills in their safe space.
About me
I have been working with children with disabilities for over 10 years. My lifelong passion is helping individuals with different abilities to be their best selves. Through my training in Floortime, Spelling to Communicate and Gestalt language processing, my goal is to help my clients reach for the stars!
