                                Hello, my name is Julie Nichols.   I am an Educational Therapist (ET/P) and Employment Service Provider

                                for people with learning differences, neurodiversities, and/or disabilities in the San Antonio area. I provide both remote and in-person services through a combination

 

                                state and private funding depending on the type of service.   I also have parental experience in most areas of

                                my credentialing. Our youngest grown son Sam, who has Autism, has been the inspiration for my professional practice. 

                                Some facts about my professional background are:


 

                             *  Educational Therapist for 13 years of experience supporting learners with a range of abilities, ages, disabilities, and neurodiversities

                             *  2--1/2 years concurrently added as an Employment service provider, one of those years as an independent contractor (Vendor) in the                                                                                           Vocational Rehabilitation sector for the Texas Workforce Commission

                             * 6 years providing special education/specialist school experience in grades 1-8, small group and one-to-one

                             * In summary, 25 years of teaching and guiding students total with and without disabilities towards success in the classroom and as                                                                                               a school and independent disability specialist combined (19 total), and added Employment Services (VR) in 2023 (2.5 years)



 
                               Within the last few years since 2025, I have added three state contracts to provide access to some government funding. 

                               Many who receive my services will qualify, but not all will qualify. Please see the details below about my specific

                               services and the next page for details about my credentialing and additional specialties.
