Every family is unique — and every child deserves support that truly reflects that.

Dr. Andrea takes the time to get to know your family’s story. Through heartfelt conversations with parents and teachers, a careful review of previous evaluations and reports, and a warm, observational visit to your home, she builds a complete and compassionate picture of your child’s needs. From there, she works with you to create practical, real-world strategies and clear, actionable steps that empower you to support your child’s emotional regulation and reduce challenging behaviors — right where it matters most, at home.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Dr. Andrea is here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

“What separates Dr. Larmon from other providers is her dual certification as a licensed school psychologist and BCBA, as well as her unique ability to connect with both students and their families. She is compassionate, genuine, and practical. Dr. Larmon presents unbiased, data-driven, recommendations that maintain high expectations for students with disabilities.

Unlike many providers, Dr. Larmon does not stop at delivering a report or recommendation. She specifically goes above and beyond to ensure that teams understand how to move recommendations into practice.

Dr. Larmon places students at the center of each project, which uniquely allows her to support faculty, staff, and families simultaneously.”

FAQ’s

What does coaching cost?

What is the difference between a Coaching Model and a Treatment Model?

Coaching provides structure, guidance, tools, accountability, and a shared objective. Together, these elements support consistent progress and facilitate the translation of insights into action. Some examples of content that would be focused upon through a coaching model include:

* Teaching clients how to utilize reinforcement in their daily routines

* Providing coaching staff with strategies for classroom behavior management

* Guiding consistent strategy implementation

* Developing generalizable skills through education

* Mentoring staff on the skills required for effective classroom management, classroom environmental changes, meaningful inclusion, and transitioning from a clinic-based BCBA to a school-based BCBA

 

Treatment necessitates in-person data collection, observation, and instruction for client success. Some examples of content that would be focused upon through a treatment model include:

* Creating and supervising direct Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) sessions

* Completing Functional Behavior Assessments

* Developing formal Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs)

* Treating clinical conditions utilizing the principles of ABA

How do you determine if a client requires direct behavioral treatment or a coaching program?

A few different factors determine this:

  1.   Does the client require direct ABA instruction, evaluation, or Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) services?
  2.   Does the client require Behavioral Skills Training?
  3.   Does the client require short-term or long-term mentoring?
  4.   Does the client require in-person observation and student-specific feedback?
