Therapy at your child's home, preschool or school.
Learning naturally occurs in the home or pre/school, with the people that your child sees everyday - so I come to your child's home or pre/school and work with your child and the important people who care for them and teach them.
I am dedicated to taking and individualised, holistic and practical approach to therapy and believe in empowering all those involved with your child so that they continue to develop their communication skills in everyday life.
I have over 12 years experience working with children with Communication and Sensory Integration Difficulties in Australia, America and the UK. I specialise in working with children on the Autistic Spectrum and their families.
I also work with children of all ages who have difficulties with:
- Producing speech sounds
- Understanding language and following directions
- Using language - single words, sentences, grammar
- Recalling information
- Reading and writing
- Social Interaction and Play
- Communication and Attention difficulties including ADHD and ADD
- Communication and Sensory Integration Difficulties
- Communication and Behavioural Difficulties
As well as working directly with children and their families I am passionate about providing informative and motivational training sessions to parents and educational professionals. I am qualified to provide accredited courses through ELKLAN and I also provide tailor made courses to suit your requirements.
I am based in the Caringbah and Miranda suburbs of the Sutherland Shire and travel throughout Sutherland Shire and the South of St George.
I am an approved provider under the FaHCSIA initiatives for:

I am also a registered provider for Medicare and Private Health Fund rebates.
