Autism Consulting and Educational Services
Lorin McGuire, M.A., BCBA
Lorin has over 10 years of professional experience and 20 years of personal experience with individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders. In addition to being a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), she has a Master's degree in Special Education with a focus on Early Intervention from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She has worked with children from 14 months to 12 years old, but her expertise is in programming for children under 5. She has worked with clients across the spectrum, including children with Asperger's, PDD-NOS, and moderate to severe Autism. Lorin also has experience with children without a diagnosis of autism, including those with speech delays and general behavioral challenges.
Consultation services are based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which has scientific support as the most effective intervention for children with autism. Lorin has experience with traditional and play-based ABA approaches (e.g. DTT, PRT, and NET), and she will encourage the most natural, developmentally appropriate, child-friendly program appropriate to meet your child's needs. Data will be taken and monitored regularly to ensure the intervention is effective for your child. If your child is not making progress, something is wrong with the intervention…not your child!
Time is precious for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. It should not be wasted with sub-standard interventions or "one size fits all" programs. If you are interested in consultation services designed to meet the unique needs of your child and family, please call or email for more information.
