Supporting Autism & Neurodivergent Families in Fairfield County

A compassionate, knowledgeable real estate experience from someone who understands.

Finding the right home is never one-size-fits-all — especially for families navigating autism, ADHD, sensory needs, or individualized education plans. As a Fairfield County realtor and a mother with personal experience in the autism community, I understand firsthand how important the right environment, school district, and support system can be.

This isn’t just real estate for me — it’s personal.

How I Support Autism & Special Needs Families

✔ Understanding Sensory-Friendly Home Features

I help families evaluate:

  • Quiet vs. high-stim neighborhoods

  • Floor plan flow for sensory comfort

  • Safety considerations

  • Space for therapies or calm rooms

  • Lighting, noise levels, yard layout & more

✔ School District & SPED Knowledge

Fairfield County has strong programs, but every district is different.
I bring insight into:

  • IEP processes

  • Special education reputations

  • Transition services

  • Proximity to therapies & specialists

  • Navigating school choice with confidence

✔ Smooth Transitions and Predictability

Moving can be overwhelming, especially for neurodivergent kids or adults.
I guide families through:

  • Pre-move routines

  • Predictable timelines

  • Visual schedules

  • Introducing change gradually

  • Strategies that help moving feel manageable

✔ Emotional Intelligence + Real Experience

Because I’ve lived it, my clients never have to explain the things other agents overlook.
You work with someone who understands the daily realities, sensory needs, routines, and emotional labor that go into making a big decision like moving.
