History

Established in 2011.

Francine Sanchez began working with kids diagnosed with Autism during her Undergraduate Education at University of California, Santa Barbara. Training at the Koegel Institute imbued her with a sense that natural environments, parent training, research-​supported techniques and ongoing education were key. Post college, she spent a year at Pasadena Child Development Associates (PCDA) concentrating on social skills, play behavior, interdisciplinary involvement and child-​led therapy. She then returned to Applied Behavior Analysis, learning complementary therapies such as PECS and TEACCH. After getting her Masters in Human Behavior through National University she began designing early intervention programs specifically for children waiting for funding through Regional Center and unhappy with services offered after the age of 3. Francine also applies her ABA skills and Lindamood Bell learning techniques to privately tutoring students with dyslexia and developmental delay
