Get to Know Us
Spectrum Organizing Solutions is a small organizing business located in Middlesex county, MA. It was founded by a mother with a son with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), who saw a clear need for organizing services geared specifically towards families who are caring for a loved one with Autism. She brings positive energy and a sincere willingness to help make a difference in your life.
Mission Statement
At Spectrum Organizing Solutions we provide a wide range of services to families with unique needs. Our mission is to simplify your life by helping to create an organized and harmonious environment for all members of your household. Our customized approach ensures that each family receives the support they need to manage day-to-day life. With our compassionate approach and expert guidance, you can have peace of mind knowing that you are not alone.
Philosophy
Organizing is not just about having a place for everything and everything in its place. It’s about creating functional systems that help you get through your day with relative ease, and allowing you to manage tasks more efficiently, so you have more time to focus on what matters most.
​
From decluttering and simplifying your home, to setting up visual schedules and sensory-friendly spaces for your loved one with ASD, we are here to support you and your family.
We believe that one is able to fully engage in functional living and learning when the environment is enriched and easy to navigate.
​
What we create
Many individuals with ASD tend to be visual learners. That's why we offer personalized visual-based solutions to help with skills and language development.
In addition, those on the Spectrum benefit by having routines, and following schedules. These are effective tools for managing daily tasks and activities.
Whether your loved one learns better with photographs, illustrations, or even written instructions, we can help design learning materials that target very specific goals.
It's all about the space
We at Spectrum Organizing Solutions know that individuals with ASD often experience sensory overload. As a result, it is often difficult for them to stay
focused and centered.
Providing a quiet, sensory-conscious space, can be beneficial when the environment becomes overwhelming.
Having a safe space can also help with transitions,
which can be especially challenging.
What we do
Our objective is to make your life more manageable. This means different things to different people.
Perhaps you need a system for organizing your kitchen cabinets and drawers, so items are within reach. An organized kitchen means that your loved one is more apt to be successful with Activities of Daily Living (ADL's), such as emptying the dishwasher, setting the table or putting away groceries. This is a great way to integrate the needs of the household with helping your loved one develop a functional skill.
Have you ever dreamed of creating a filing system to maintain important documents or reference materials, that tend to accumulate quickly? When a member of the family is on the spectrum, the paperwork seems to be never ending!!!!! We get it!
Would you like to gain more space in areas of your home? Is it time to purge unwanted items? Are you always buying new items because, although you KNOW you have it, you just can't FIND it?
Let's decide what items you need, and then decide where you need to put them!
That's part of our C.O.P.E. strategy. Categorize, Order, Proximity, and Ease of Use. With our unique approach we can accommodate all your needs, and more. The possibilities are endless!!!
Meet Tina
Founder and Professional Organizer
As a Mom to a wonderful son with Autism, Tina understands the positive impact that an organized home can have on a family caring for a loved one with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
When her son was diagnosed with ASD at an early age, special educational services were limited, As a result, Tina advocated for, and established a home-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Program, working closely with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) for over 3 years.
Her organizational skills played an important role in her son's progress. She designed his learning space to be sensory conscious, organized, and predictable. In addition, she created numerous systems, activity schedules, and organizational techniques to support his educational programming. His ongoing progress, during this period, prepared him for the ABA programs he would later attend.
​
Over the years, Tina has continued to be closely involved in her son's education, adapting strategies, as her son matured.
Her career includes working as a Human Resource Manager, as well as a Quality Control Specialist. However, her true passion lies with the ASD community, and her desire to help other families.
​
With her knowledge, expertise and understanding, Tina offers real life, personalized solutions to help her clients and their families thrive.
