Early Childhood Behavioral Consultant
All children neurotypical or neurodivergent experience extreme emotions and struggle to communicate their needs by “acting out.”
Think about it…don’t you, as an adult, feel the urge to throw yourself to the floor when things don’t go your way? But we don’t because as adults we have the words to express dissatisfaction and a fully developed frontal lobe making it easier to control impulses, two things children lack. Working with me is like hearing your child’s wants and needs from an adult perspective. I provide a unique perspective as a neurodivergent adult child, using my own experiences both as an educator and reflecting on my childhood. I do this by rewording phrases that would have motivated me to listen when exhibiting difficult behavior. In a nutshell, Ask Miss Sarah, LLC will transform your adult-child relationship into a fun, peaceful, playful, and respectful one.

My Mission
My gift is the ability to train, teach, and support those who educate or parent young children with the high degree of self-awareness that I have acquired, and the many lessons that I have learned growing up as a child with undiagnosed ADHD. It is the gift of remembering what it was that I needed as a young child— an adult to listen to me, not just to my words but to my behavior. I needed an interpreter. And, that’s exactly what I do. I interpret children’s behavior, giving reasons behind the behavior making it easier for adults to understand the “WHY” behind the behavior. As an educator for over 20 years, this work has not only grown into a passion to educate others but a mission to ensure that no child has to live with questioning themselves. No other children experience feeling they are; “the reason someone is disappointed” or doubting their dream and especially hearing the phrase,” You can do anything or become anyone you want …” but believing it doesn’t apply to you. Most children do not CHOOSE to misbehave Keeping in mind that every child’s behavior is communicating something, it is my goal to help parents and educators embrace each child’s individual needs and give them a head start on their self-confidence!
