Personal Info
Since 1983, I participate in multiple in-services and advocacy meetings in schools and court on behalf of uninsured or underinsured children. I present both general presentations and case-related ones concerning children and youth with Tourette Syndrome, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, ADHD, and associated learning and/or legal issues, averaging about 300 hours/year.
I devote 50 hours per month to pro bono clinical services on behalf of children with Tourette Syndrome and associated disorders and their families, and children with the 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome.
