Kimberly Becker
Kimberly Becker is director of pediatric services at Heartspring and has worked with children with autism and other developmental disabilities and their families in both school and non-profit settings. Her classroom teaching experience began in 1996 working with children with autism or severe communication disorders. With ardent interest and a passion for the children she serves, Kimberly has devoted countless hours of study and research specifically targeting developmental disabilities such as autism as well as other neurological and behavioral disorders. From 2000 to 2007, Kimberly worked to coordinate programs specifically for children with autism and other developmental disabilities at Rainbows United. Advancing opportunities for the community, her work at Heartspring has been to provide comprehensive services for families. These services address the deficits experienced by children who desperately need early intervention services in developmental areas including functional communication skills, fine and gross motor skills, social skills, as well as educational and behavioral programming. Her participation and presentations in various courses, workshops and symposiums across the United States including training with Stanley Greenspan at the University of Kansas and work with the Kansas Autism Waiver Committee meetings has enabled her to both share her expertise, and continue to expand her knowledge base all with the ultimate goal of creating the best opportunities for success for the families she serves.
