About Amanda

Dr. Amanda Speights brings a wealth of experience as a developmental expert. With a proven track record of success in various settings, including school-based, hospital, home health, outpatient, prescribed pediatric extended care (PPEC), and telehealth, she has the skills and expertise needed to support families' well-being.

Her approach is deeply rooted in the latest research, emphasizing an integrative and neurodiversity-affirming perspective — respecting and celebrating the unique strengths and challenges of neurodiverse individuals. She is committed to offering sensory and relationship-based strategies tailored to each family's specific needs and goals, with the aim of enhancing child development and improving overall quality of life.

Ultimately, her goal is to empower families, helping them feel more informed and confident as they navigate support for their child.
