About Me
I have worked over 20 years in educational and clinical settings and have helped parents and children with learning and behavioural difficulties that include Autism, ADHD and ODD. My experience includes working with families from many parts of the world such as Malaysia, India, China, Middle East and Europe.
Currently, my work focuses on helping children and adolescents, ages 5-16, with learning and attention issues, and behavioural difficulties. I provide intervention via Skype.
For parents as well as children, I aim to facilitate learning processes that increase understanding, build competence and improve behaviour. Most importantly, I believe positive relationship is key to successful learning.
My approach to intervention is an integration of the following:
Education to provide an understanding of
-
The interrelated factors that influence learning and behaviour
-
Learning and behavioural principles that increase potential for learning
Competence building in developing
-
Behaviour management skills
-
Self-regulation skills
-
Positive learning attitudes
Coaching and training parents as coaches in
-
Problem solving
-
Developing Executive Function skills
