Lisa Holtz
ITFS, DT, MS
I hold a bachelor’s degree in child development and a master’s degree in special
education, along with a Post-Graduate Certificate in Early Intervention from Kent State
University in Kent, Ohio. I have approximately six years of experience working in Early
Intervention with children ages 0–3, supporting developmental growth and helping families build
skills that promote early learning and independence. Prior to specializing in Early Intervention, I
worked with school-aged children with disabilities providing in-home care and Applied Behavior
Analysis (ABA) services beginning in 2018. My experience working with children with diverse
needs began even earlier through babysitting, working as a teaching assistant in a daycare, and
completing internships in educational settings throughout college. These opportunities allowed
me to support children with atypical and neurotypical development in home, school, and daycare
environments.
I have lived in North Carolina for almost three years and in the greater Charlotte area for
about a year and a half. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy spending time with my family
and friends, traveling, taking my baby and dog to the park, and visiting the beach. I am married
and the proud parent of a baby boy, and our dog, Casper.
