Services

Our approach to therapeutic interventions enables us to deliver services in a variety of settings specific to individual needs including familial or school related priorities. Creative Solutions for All Abilities provides office-based, in-home and school bound services for children and adults.

 

We also support our clients in unique settings and provide community-based experiences to broaden and generalize skills. This technique of delivering services allows us to observe and help to manage behavior in real-life situations and to provide caregivers consistent approaches for everyday life.

“Nicole came into our lives when we needed her the most. The pandemic and a very important family person’s passing really changed the once very happy, carefree, and full of life son of mine.  Nicole understood right from the start all the new emotions my son was dealing with, respected the grieving time that he needed, and focused on taking him through a journey of healing and coping while at the same time helping to discover the blessings of his life even after his beloved grandpa's passing.  

 

My son went from being constantly anxious and puzzled and worried to a guy who found happiness, positivity and confidence in his life. Through the emotion charts, role playing,  social stories, and behavioral interventions provided by Nicole, my son regained calmness and joy.

 

A year later, Nicole continues to be a significant person in my son's life...  ”
