A Message from Dr. Hamsho

If you’re here, you’re likely looking for answers, and someone you can trust to help you understand your or your child’s needs. I want you to know you’re in the right place. 

I’m a licensed psychologist who has spent over a decade working with neurodivergent youth and their families, not just in clinical settings, but also directly in schools. I’ve conducted evaluations, led IEP meetings, collaborated with teachers, and supported students from preschool through college. I know how the special education system works because I’ve been part of it, both as a school psychologist and as a professor who trains future school psychologists. 

I not only use the latest research in my practice, I help create it! I regularly publish on topics like autism and inclusive education, and co-lead federally funded research projects focused on improving outcomes for neurodivergent students. One of these projects, has involved developing Smooth Sailing, a professional development program for teachers to improve their understanding of autism. 

I’ve spent my career working with neurodivergent individuals, helping them get the clarity, support, and advocacy they deserve. I’m deeply invested in building a world where neurodivergent children are understood, celebrated, and supported, especially in schools. Everyone deserves to feel safe, seen, and valued in their learning environment. It is my goal to support parents to ensure their child is getting the support they need to thrive. 

My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, culturally responsive, and grounded in both science and compassion. I use gold-standard tools, like the ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule – second edition). If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, I’m here to help.
