Amber Anderson

Hi, my name is Amber Anderson and I am the Early Intervention Director for Universal MH/DD/SAS. I have worked with children and their families for over twenty years. The past thirteen years, I have been directly involved with our Early Intervention Program. I have a Bachelor of Science in Child Development. My past jobs as a More at Four Teacher, Child Care Provider and Targeted Case Manager have given me the experience to supervise the Early Intervention program as well as directly provide Community Based Rehabilitation Services (CBRS – Special Instruction). I work directly with each CDSA and the Early Intervention Service Coordinators to ensure that the therapist provided is the best fit for the child and his/her family. If you would like more information on our program or are interested in job possibilities, please contact me at 828-438-0006.

Hello! My name is Taylor Williams. I graduated from Appalachian State University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Child Development. Over the past 3 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children ages 0–12, including children who are neurodiverse and those with developmental delays. Throughout my experience, I have worked with children and families in a variety of settings, including clinics, child development centers, and schools. I have always had a strong passion for working with children and supporting them as they learn, grow, and reach their individual goals. I aim to create a supportive environment where every child feels valued, understood, and encouraged. I approach my work with patience, compassion, and a genuine desire to help each child reach their fullest potential. I look forward to building meaningful relationships with children and their families while celebrating their growth and accomplishments along the way.
