About Me

Sarah Walter

Through various positions I’ve held over the last couple decades, my passion always comes back to servicing families and children’s individual needs through a collaborative process.

I was a Special Education teacher for over 10 years in Maryland teaching and supporting in various settings from Pre-K to 8th grade. My background includes a wide range of abilities and needs, with a focus on significant behaviors. From these experiences, I believe in positive reinforcement for children through the implementation of evidence-based interventions.

As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) since 2021, I have worked with children 2 to 16 years old. I love the ability to individualize services across settings while also supporting the generalization of skills and empowering the whole family unit, from parents to siblings to grandparents.

I believe very strongly in skill development and building independence for the future through individual goals. The establishment of Walter Advocacy, LLC allows me to integrate my skills in order to implement critical principles on a broader scale.
