Early Intervention Solutions provides individualized support for children with autism, developmental delays, communication differences, sensory needs, behavioral challenges, and social-emotional difficulties. Programs are thoughtfully designed to strengthen communication, emotional regulation, independence, social development, and daily functioning through a highly personalized and relationship-based approach.

With over 25 years of experience in the New York State Early Intervention Program and private practice, Lisa Wallos works closely with children and families to create meaningful progress that carries over into everyday life at home, school, and within the community. Services are tailored to each child’s unique strengths, personality, learning style, and developmental profile.

Experience You Can Trust

As an Early Intervention specialist, Lisa brings deep clinical knowledge combined with real-world application. She thoughtfully adapts strategies and techniques to each child’s individual strengths, learning style, and developmental needs using:

  • Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA)
  • Analytic and Gestalt language approaches
  • Developmental and relationship-based interventions
  • American Sign Language (ASL) for non-speaking children and children with language delays

Her strategies focus on helping children build:

  • Authentic communication and interaction skills
  • Flexible thinking and problem-solving abilities
  • Emotional connection and engagement
  • Social understanding and reciprocity
  • Curiosity, confidence and intrinsic motivation

An individualized Hybrid Approach

Lisa’s hybrid approach is unique in that it combines evidence-based behavioral strategies with developmental, relationship-based intervention. While structured teaching methods are incorporated when appropriate, her work extends beyond traditional ABA approaches that may rely heavily on repetition, drills, or scripted responses alone. Instead, Lisa’s goal is to ultimately foster meaningful engagement, authentic communication, emotional connection, flexibility, and developmental growth that carries over into everyday life and relationships.
