Getting to Know Lisa

Lisa has made it her life’s work to support children with developmental, behavioral, social, and communication challenges while helping children and families experience greater connection, confidence, and success in everyday life. As a child specialist, she has worked with children with autism, developmental delays, behavioral difficulties, and a wide range of learning and social-emotional needs. She has assisted children who have difficulty communicating, playing appropriately, transitioning from one activity to the next, following directions, making eye contact, interacting with others, and developing age-appropriate social and adaptive skills. Through private, comprehensive, science-based interventions, Lisa helps children build meaningful developmental progress while strengthening communication, confidence, emotional regulation, and daily functioning.

For more than 20 years, Lisa has worked for the NYS Early Intervention Program as a Special Instructor, ABA Therapist, and Family Trainer. She has also served as a specialist for children ages 3–5 through the Committee on Preschool Special Education Program.

For families navigating developmental or behavioral challenges, Lisa teaches parents how to establish meaningful and lasting changes within the home to improve communication, strengthen relationships, and restore peace within the family. Through her work as a family trainer, she developed a following among families in Westchester and NYC seeking compassionate, effective support for their children’s unique needs. Leading with gentleness and compassion, she helps parents better understand their child while creating positive shifts in communication, confidence, emotional regulation, and everyday family dynamics.

Individualized Therapy

After an initial assessment and collaboration with parents, Lisa develops a customized plan tailored to each child’s individual needs. Whether supporting children with autism, developmental delays, or behavioral and emotional challenges, understanding a child’s unique profile and family concerns is essential in creating meaningful and effective behavioral solutions. Parents, caregivers, and siblings are important components of a child’s early intervention experience. For children of divorced or separated parents, she works closely with all parties to encourage consistency, communication, and alignment in supporting the child’s developmental and emotional goals.

Therapeutic Shadowing

School or community shadowing allows Lisa to support your child in real-life environments while providing immediate, real-time guidance and intervention. This service helps address challenges related to communication, behavior, self-help, and social skills within the home, school, or community. Parents often choose this support to help children build independence, improve daily functioning, and strengthen higher-level skills that carry over into everyday life.

Community Support

Expert support helping children feel more at ease and behave more appropriately at events such as parties, parks and with peers.

Social Skills

Strengthening social skills and optimizing social experiences with others by providing direct support, teaching and reinforcing appropriate behavior.

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.
