Autism meltdowns, untangled.
Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), Santa Monica.
Meltdowns aren't tantrums. They're nervous-system events with patterns, triggers, and antecedents that look invisible until you map them. Most parents try every reaction and nothing sticks — because the work happens before the meltdown, not during.
I find what's actually setting them off — sensory, communication, hunger, or something else entirely. We build the supports. I train you to use them. Then the meltdowns get fewer, shorter, and less intense.
Six years across homes, schools, and clinics. I've worked with families dealing with daily aggression, head-banging, biting, and self-injury. There is always a path.
You know your kid. I know what helps. $225/hr, billing starts during the first assessment — home or Zoom.
