She has extensive experience with Applied Behavioral Analysis and she received additional graduate-level training at Rutgers University’s Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center.

When Judi and Amy F retired, Amy E took the helm to continue the important work that ChildDC does with childcare centers, schools, and families in the Washington DC area.
Our Story
In 1995, The Ivymount School established an outreach program, first known as CORE and then as Ivymount Outreach Programs Early Childhood Division, to support young children who were experiencing challenges in typical classrooms or childcare settings with individualized strategies. In 2013, Amy, Judi, and Amy launched Child Development Consultants, LLC, speaking at conferences nationwide for early childhood educators, and publishing a nationally-acclaimed book for parents, Is It A Big Problem or A Little Problem? When to Worry, When Not to Worry, and What to Do.
