Professional Trainings
I believe that ongoing training is essential for any professional, including myself,
and my training series are a result of just that.
​
Each series contains pertinent information, theories, ideas and recommendations directly from my many years of professional experience, as well as my personal experiences of being a parent to neurodiverse children and a caregiver to my father who has Alzheimer's.
​
The series are designed to encourage professionals with their individual clientele and in their individual environments, to reflect on how they are providing support and services.
​
The aim of the each training series is to provide and discuss solutions that are realistically and effectively applicable in each participant's daily reality, with the goal of truly meeting the needs and improving the lives of the person they are caring for, supporting or educating.
Whether you are a professional in a school, a daycare, a residence, a group home, a clinic, a recreational program, a camp or working in your own private practice, the training series are designed to encourage you within your individual role and individual environment, to reflect on the difficulties that you face in providing care and support, and to discuss solutions that are realistically and effectively applicable in your daily reality.
