Brianne had the opportunity to observe and participate in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) sessions, Speech Therapy sessions, Occupational Therapy sessions and Physical Therapy sessions with the children she nannied.

Brianne's favorite part of working with children through ABA, is watching and celebrating their progress. She also enjoys learning how they uniquely and individually learn.

She believes there is deep value to cultivating shared narratives and that everyone has the right to be the author of their lives. Deanna was born and raised in Seattle and has a professional background in landscape architecture, with a focus on community-centered design and ecological democracy. She and her neurodivergent, slightly spider-obsessed wife share their home with dogs, cats, books, and music. Deanna enjoys choral singing, spending time with her family, gardening, DIY projects, cooking without recipes, coloring with gel pens, reading about the 2e/autistic experience, and getting lost in London bookstores. |
