Hi, my name is Joy Manning. I specialize in working with neurodivergent kids from early childhood through elementary. I have worked in public and private schools, clinics, homes, orphanages and recreational settings. I started working with adults with developmental disabilities back in 1998 and then transitioned to working with kids in 2007.
I currently work one-on-one with children in their homes, supporting developmental growth, emotional regulation, social skills, and executive functioning. I also coach educators and parents in developmental, relationship-based approaches to intervention and offer online courses for parents and professionals focused on understanding behavior through a developmental and relationship-based lens.
I love what I do, and I am a big believer in the power of play!
