Sherlyn started working with children during her internship attachment at a special needs school. Through that she developed a keen interest in the field of special education. She went on to do more internship attachments at a Mental Health Institute and helping out with therapies (such as Speech and Occupational) and assessments at a private Child Developmental Clinic. Before joining Children’s Partnership and Acacia Rise, she taught at a private inclusion pre-school setting.

She understands that every individual child is unique and learns in different ways. Thus teaching should be focused more on their strengths, helping the child discover what  their interests are and what they are good at. The importance of family and a strong support system help create a holistic environment for the child to learn and to maximise their potential. She is passionate to expand her knowledge in all the various areas such as interventions, assessments, and teaching. This will improve her ability to help and guide not only the children, but their families as well.
