Vivian David-Nicolas
I have dedicated my professional career to clinical psychology and education, with an emphasis on special needs education and advocacy. Having had a sister born with Down’s syndrome, I have been dedicated to this field, both personally and professionally, and strive to support individuals of determination achieve their fullest potential. I received my doctorate degree in Psychology from the Wright Institute, in Berkeley, California in June 2001. My professional experience entails having worked with and collaborated with regional centers since 2001 (as a vendor in the past and also as an Independent Facilitator and support care coordination of services for participants/consumers). Furthermore, I have worked with a variety of populations and age groups across different diagnostic classifications (e.g., Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Downs Syndrome, etc.) and have expanded such skill sets across behavioral health and mental health treatment and education. I have specialized in working with the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) population for over 25 years. Overall, I have undergone significant clinical training while disseminating information regarding evidence-based treatment and research. As an Independent Facilitator, I will dedicate my full attention and energy in supporting and advocating for each participant's path toward self-determination.
