"Hi friends, I'm Stephanie! I obtained my bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Texas at San Antonio. I've been a part of the TLC family since December of 2015, and have had different roles throughout the years.

However, I am now a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) providing ABA services to children with ASD. I love learning from our kiddos and watching them grow on a daily baiss.

When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time with my fiance, friends, and family. I am so loving the process of planning my wedding for next April!"

Behavior is how we see someone acting and, despite

Behavior is how we see someone acting and, despite what we have grown to believe, it isn't always a choice. Often, there are many other factors working "behind the scenes" to interfere, especially in growing children that are still learning how to process emotions.
When in doubt, be patient, and try to see what could be causing a less than ideal behavior – it is always better to fix the cause than the result.

During the academic year, a child will be in schoo

During the academic year, a child will be in school anywhere between 6-10 hours each day. This means most kids spend at least 25% of their time, if not more, in the presence of adults other than their parents, most often educators.

Whether you have just found out about your child’s Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), or have known about it for years, talking to their teachers and counselors and keeping them informed of your child’s treatment is of utmost importance. We have a new post on the blog all about how you can ensure these conversations go smoothly!

"Hello, I'm Ms. Felicia! I graduated from Del Mar College OTA program in 2000 and have been at TLC for over 8 years! I have seen so many wonderful changes over the years thanks in part to the leadership of the owners and our awesome staff.

I believe we have the best group of therapists ever and I love, love, LOVE working with our kiddos and their families. What a difference each and every one of them has made in my life! I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to help them grow.

During my off time, I enjoy traveling, spending time with ⁠ my family and spoiling my grandson."

Language is a huge part of human connection, and h

Language is a huge part of human connection, and helping children learn how to communicate makes a world of difference! Here are some tips on how to best help with AAC implementation.

1. Presume that everyone has the potential to learn how to communicate and contribute to society. Provide support and access to an AAC system and literacy institution as early as possible, but know it is never too late!

2. Model AAC by speaking while pointing to symbols and words on the system. Modelling only a few keywords is fine, but be careful to understand the difference between modelling (using an example to follow) and prompting (trying to get them to say something specific).

3. Be careful when helping a new user so as to not encourage prompt dependent behaviors, or speak for them. If you're not sure how to provide the right amount of support, try using an AAC prompt hierarchy.

4. Interact instead of testing. Use words like "maybe" or "I wonder" when modelling, that way you can help teach them while not presuming you know their feelings, nor demanding a response.

5. Provide robust core-based vocabulary from the start. If you need help picking out an AAC system, ask your child's therapist or doctor for recommendations.

6. Pause... for longer than feels comfortable. Resist the urge to jump in right away and wait for at least 10 to 15 seconds with an expectant look to show you believe they can respond.

7. Teach ALL language functions (not just requesting)! AAC users also need to learn how to comment, describe, ask questions, complain, argue, self-advocate, and more!

8. Personalize AAC systems. This is a tool they will use every day, and so it is important to ensure it is a perfect fit. Make sure to include the user in these decisions!

9. Teach and model proper grammar to ensure that the AAC user has the ability to learn those language forms. It will be very helpful in their ability to communicate more clearly!

10. Give it time! AAC users have more complex communications needs and often learn and process information at a slower pace. So give them extra support, and trust that it'll happen!

In my free time, I like to bake, hike, spend time with my fur babies and travel. Beyond that, I'm a homebody and enjoy spending time remodelling my house."⁠ ⁠

Did you know that more than half of all babies admitted to the NICU are full-term infants with special medical needs? NICU babies most commonly need help with positioning (ensuring comfort, strengthening their bodies) and feeding. If they still need therapy after leaving the hospital, your baby’s therapy team will create a plan on how to best keep their development on track! ⁠
⁠
That’s where TLC comes in to assist with overall development (bringing hands together, reaching for feet, eye movement/tracking), including fine and gross motor skills, early communication and continued feeding as needed. We love being able to help and witness the progress these kids make!⁠
