Dr. Kim's clinical approach allows for parents' insights to guide the way in which she incorporates evidence-based practices. She evaluates an intervention's effectiveness not only through the outcomes it produces but also by the feasibility, consistency & ease of the process itself. She believes an intervention's functional criteria are best assessed by those that implement it; typically, this involves the members of a child's family or school. Her approach devotes extensive attention towards ensuring the considerations & concerns of these parties are continuously addressed with care. She facilitates these collaborative conversations by means of adaptive flexibility of her role whether it be Listener or Liaison, Advocate or Advisor, Counselor or Consultant along with an innate sensitivity that determines which role is best for a given situation. Her work demonstrates that this ample availability is powerfully conducive to the success of the child and the wellbeing of their supporting community. As such, Dr. Kim's dedication to cross-channel communication is what distinguishes her as a practitioner, and by uniting her expansive clinical expertise, forms a distinctive cornerstone of her practice.
