Elizabeth Hanson is a Master’s Level Student Intern currently pursuing her Master of Social Work at the University of Central Florida.

Elizabeth has an extensive background working with children and adolescents struggling with attention deficits, anxiety, behavioral issues, learning disabilities, obsessive tendencies, and oppositional symptoms, as well as implementing successful interventions for various physical and behavioral challenges that accompany Autism Spectrum Disorder and Down Syndrome.

Elizabeth’s professional experience is comprised of various helping roles, including volunteering for the Crisis Text Line, supporting at-risk students in alternative learning environments, and working as a Registered Behavior Technician in clinical and in-home/school settings.
