Allison E. Coburn, Ph.D. (ABD) AEC Child & Family Consulting, L.L.C. Child, Family & Organization Consultant Pediatric Developmental Therapist
As a Developmental Therapist, I specialize in pediatric early intervention services for families with young children with autism (ASD), developmental delays (PDD-NOS), and sensory processing disorder (SPD) provided in their homes, schools, and clinic settings throughout the Central Indiana area. My approach emphasizes child development within the context of familial relationships and shared playful interactions between parent(s) and child(ren) that are meaningful, positive, and pleasurable, thus creating the foundation necessary for development to occur across all domains. In my six years of pediatric experience, I have pursued many professional developmental credentials than enable me to provide families with the developmental, social, behavioral and communicative resources they need to further promote their child’s growth and development.
