Experience and Philosophy
Hi there,
Working
with families in order to guide a child to reach his fullest potential
has been a long held belief of mine. Children’s Partnership was set up
in 2005 with the intent of working together with families. Over the
years, it has been a privilege to work with each and every family as we
work towards guiding each child in their journey through life. I have
also been blessed with a team of incredibly talented and dedicated
consultants who are passionate about the work they do with the
families.
From
a professional standpoint, I graduated from Murdoch University with a
degree in Psychology. I worked in a special school, where I got to
learn about the gifts of each child I taught as I guided them through
dance, swimming and job placements, in addition to the day to day
academics. During this time, I earned a master’s degree in Applied
Psychology and started a new phase in my work life where I was involved
in the assessment and diagnosis of children at a local hospital. In my
time there, I received training in various intervention programmes
(PECS, Structured Teaching, MISC approach) and helped to initiate
various intervention programmes. I was and still am continually looking
to improve the lives of the children I work with, which led to my
becoming an RDI® Program Certified Consultant.
Over the years, I have
continued to receive training and study with the goal of improving the
lives of the children and families I work with. In particular, the area
of neurodevelopment is a keen interest of mine. I have received
training in various approaches (HANDLE, Rhythmic Movement Training,
Play based treatment of trauma).”
When I am not at work, I enjoy
spending time with my daughter. I have been incredibly fortunate to
have my parents watch over her when I am at work.
If you decide to invite us to take this journey with you, I believe you will find it an empowering and hopeful experience.
