EMPLOYMENT
| Area of Expertise | Over the years, I have worked with students across a spectrum of learning difficulties including MID, ASD, ADHD, GDD and emotional/behavioural challenges. Many of these students also grapple with co-morbidities such as Dyslexia, dyscalculia and specific language difficulties. I am passionate about fostering an inclusive learning environment where every student, regardless of their learning differences/needs or difficulties, can thrive. As a professional Educational Therapist , I am passionate in working collaboratively with various stakeholders, to help each individual child to gain confidence in his/her learning development milestones to reach to his/her fullest potential. |
