Language and communication first

Sam is passionate about developing language and communication skills, particularly through Functional Communication Training (FCT), and about expanding access to high-quality ABA services for families in rural communities.

Diagnosis and clinical leadership

She has supported diagnostic processes using the ADOS-2 in collaboration with local pediatricians. As a clinical leader, she enjoys mentoring teams, supporting families and promoting compassionate, evidence-based ABA practice.

What she believes

In her words: effective ABA should be meaningful, individualized and family-centered, with a focus on developing skills that enhance a person’s ability to communicate, participate and experience the best quality of life possible.
