Hello! My name is Vanessa and I have worked with children of all abilities for the past 21 years. I have worked with children who are hearing impaired, autistic, children with severe emotional disturbance, cerebral palsy, children with brain disorders and a variety of of mental health and or Behavioral Health disorders such as, Conduct Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, Schizophrenia, PTSD, Reactive Attachment Disorder and many others. It is my passion to work with these children as I believe that early rehabilitation is key to quality of life. :) I do not look at children based on the "disorder" they have, rather I see them as gifted in a unique way and I aim to focus on their strengths, building confidence and a positive attitude toward themselves and others.
