I have experience working with children with Tourette's syndrome, autism spectrum differences, and sensory integration needs. My approach is patient, observant, and supportive, focusing on creating a calm and predictable environment where children feel safe and understood. I'm attentive to sensory sensitivities and work thoughtfully with routines, movement, and communication styles that help each child regulate and thrive. My goal is always to meet children where they are and support their confidence, comfort, and development in a respectful and compassionate way.
