Co-Founder & Art Instructor
TIM MCMULLEN
I am a behavioral therapist, community arts educator, MFA artist and painter, father of two autistic boys, and fellow neurodivergent, with over a decade of experience and a deep love for the autistic community.
I started Little Dot because, as a parent, I saw the need for something different: a space where autistic kids can have FUN, explore their passions, and grow their confidence in ways that honor their unique needs and sensitivities.
Art Instructor
ABBY WANG
I am an artist and teacher from California’s Bay Area passionate about making art accessible to all. I have taught printmaking and painting at Bowdoin College, led workshops at the Miami Paper Museum, and worked as an artist mentor for adults with intellectual uniqueness. I am currently pursuing my MA in Marriage & Family Therapy with a specialization in Art Therapy.
My focus with Little Dot? Helping each student build skills, explore mediums, and find their unique creative voice.
Co-Founder & Yoga Instructor
DANI BEUTELL
I am a professional yoga and meditation teacher serving students in LA and worldwide. As a fellow spectrum-dweller (AuDHD), I love supporting autistic kids in exploring movement, body awareness, and breath as fun, accessible tools that can become life-changing daily skills for deep-feeling, sensitive folks like us.
I bring certifications in:
Mindfulness Practitioner (UCLA), Yoga Teacher (Yoga Alliance, 200h), Integrative Somatic Therapy (Embody Lab).
Our son eagerly looks forward to his art time with Little Dot every week!
They are organized and intentional, come with a full lesson plan, and send us full session summaries.
