Getting to Know Lisa

Lisa has made it her life’s work to help kids overcome behavioral problems, leading to a happier, more peaceful family life. As a child specialist, she has worked with kids who struggle with a range of challenges. She has assisted kids who have difficulty communicating, playing appropriately, transitioning from one activity to the next, following directions, making eye contact or interacting with others. Through private, comprehensive, science- based interventions, Lisa can radically and positively change your child’s development.

For more than 20 years, Lisa has worked for NYS Early Intervention Program as a Special Instructor, ABA Therapist and Family Trainer. She has also served as a specialist for children 3-5 years through the Children Of Pre-School Special Education Program.

Lisa teaches parents how to establish permanent changes in the home to significantly improve happiness and restore peace within a family. Through her work as a family trainer, she developed a following among frustrated moms in Westchester and NYC, who experience ongoing exhaustion and burnout, trying to modify their kids’ behavioral issues. Leading with gentleness and compassion, she helps parents quickly shift the dynamics, resulting in better behaved kids, who, as a result, are happier and more confident.

What Happy Parents Say

Elizabeth G.

Lisa began working with my grandson when he was 20 months old due to a lack of communication skills and behavioral issues. There was a remarkable change in behavior and language as LIsa worked with him and our entire family. We decided that our granddaughter should work with Lisa due to her very demanding behaviors. There was a remarkable difference quickly and even years later, we still see that difference . Lisa has a genuine interest in children and I highly recommend her to make your family life better, for now and the future.

We started working with Lisa when my son was two years old, and have been extremely pleased with his progress. She always has fun activities to keep his attention. Our son’s speech and thinking have improved significantly because of Lisa, which has boosted his self-confidence. Thank you, Lisa, for your hard work and dedication to my son’s success.

“I reached out to Lisa after months and months of trying to improve my 4-year-old’s behavior without any success. My child’s frequent outbursts and refusal to follow directions was wreaking havoc on our whole family, and I was desperate for help. Lisa offers an invaluable and innovative method of reshaping a child’s behavior. She taught me that every day doesn’t have to be a battle over behavior, and that it can get better! Lisa has been a gift to our family, and I only hope more families can benefit from what she has to offer.”

Ms. Wallos is amazing with our 3-year-old son. She has been a spark of light and a beacon of hope for my family. Ms. Wallos sat with us through multiple hour-long sessions of my son just crying and completely disengaged. This was heartbreaking for me as a mother, but she would encourage and reassure progress would come. Now, each teacher has repeatedly pointed out how great he’s doing and has also acknowledged how well he has responded to his special instruction classes.

We were at our wits end with our almost 7 year old daughter who was diagnosed with ADHD. She couldn’t concentrate, pay attention or sit still. Always interrupting us and had absolute no control. Her behavior was affecting our marriage. When Ms. Wallos started meeting my daughter and family, we saw a very big change in our daughter. She gave us tools on how to set rules and boundaries. We couldn’t be happier that we found someone who can guide us to help our daughter be the very best version of herself.
