Psychological assessment & therapy services for children & teens with developmental differences



you aren’t alone.
When you have questions about your child’s learning and development, there is no time to waste. We are partners in your parenthood journey and provide the answers and support you need to navigate the world of parenting a child with different needs and abilities.
“There needs to be a lot more emphasis on what a child can do instead of what he cannot do.”

Struggling with big emotions, parenting burnout, and the start of the busy holiday season? Join us for this virtual 8-session series focused on understanding and supporting challenging behaviors!
In this series, you will learn to understand the "why" behind your child's behavior, how to prevent problem behaviors before they start, ways to respond calmly and consistently to challenging moments, and how to reduce stress and improve communication across your family.
This parent coaching series consists of 8 weekly live online sessions. Join live for interactive learning or watch the recordings anytime in our secure online portal format. Sessions will run on Thursdays 12:00-1:00 PM EST.
Dates: Nov 13, 20 • Dec 4, 11, 18 • Jan 8, 15, 22
As part of this series, you will receive weekly handouts and behavior tracking tools, access to all recorded sessions, practical "homework" activities to try each week, and optional individual parent coaching sessions for personalized feedback.
The investment for this parent coaching series is $400 total for all 8 sessions and materials ($50/session), with optional individual coaching available at $75 for 30 minutes.

Fall is a wonderful time of year! We love the mild weather, beautiful leaves, football games and warm drinks. But fall turns to winter, and our bodies have to make a lot of adjustments to the weather and time change. Here are some tips to help you transition to a new season. 🍂

You can see why we've been a little quiet on social media lately. Dr. Wallace and Stacey Quinlan joined with Ranzi Stacy and Jacie Sencindiver to present "Finding Your Voice: Advocacy Skills for Parents and Caregivers" at the Mountain State Conference on Disabilities: Bridging the Gap on September 19th. We enjoyed teaching practical skills for advocacy to parents, caregivers, and professionals, including crafting your story and honing your elevator pitch. Interested in learning more? You can find our workbook at

Wow, we are still floating on cloud 9 ☁ from the Autism Caregiver's Conference event last weekend at the Innovation Center.
Two years ago, Ranzi Stacy @mrsstacy104 shared her vision of a conference where West Virginia autism parents and caregivers could find their place and have a seat at the table. This year, we were blessed with an incredible lineup of speakers:
Amanda Deluca @_amanda_deluca_ of @jacksonsjourney_jacksonsvoice
Tiffany Weaver @tiffanycweaver of @twoblondesanddiapers
Lindsey Elliott from @good_pediatric_rehab
Catherine Hughes from @achievingtrueself @caffeinatedadvocate
Tina Hinebaugh
Taylor Mclanahan from @wvcaresforautism
Tori Glock from @cardinalpeds
& two of us from @unlockedpotentialwv and Ranzi Stacy of @isanybodylistening_pod
Thank you to Jacie Sencindiver, Jessica Heflin, and Stacey Quinlan for joining forces to make this conference a success.
We heard stories of resilience, challenges, and hope for a future that is built to support families.
We can't wait to do it all again!
