Electronic Intervention Specialist | Trauma-Informed Practitioner | Neurofeedback Expert Since 2012, Chris has dedicated his career to advancing drug-free, evidence-based interventions that support children, particularly those who are adopted and have experienced trauma in overcoming developmental delays and behavioral challenges. His mission is rooted in both professional expertise and personal experience: as an adoptive parent of a sibling set who endured severe trauma, Chris brings deep empathy and insight to his work. Chris began his journey in biofeedback and neurodevelopmental modalities with a focus on research-backed approaches. He partnered with The Parent Cooperative Community to gain specialized training in addressing adverse behaviors in children from trauma-impacted backgrounds. His commitment to professional growth led him to take on the role of Electronic Intervention Specialist under the mentorship of Carla Derose at The Parent Cooperative Community Day Program. Chris continues to be a passionate advocate for trauma-informed care, blending science, technology, and compassion to help children thrive.
