Inclusion Spot
Services
The services I provide are needs led. I offer help that enables children to better understand the neurodiverse world around them and to have suitable strategies and tools to navigate every-day life. The strategies I employ include, creating daily routines with the assistance of visuals; using a variety of visuals to enable children to follow adult instructions/lead, as well as support to prepare children for new experiences and transitions.
​
I can also work with children, families, schools and organisations to help them gain a better understanding of their emotions and introduce strategies to regulate these more effectively. By using
various frameworks, I can help children to identify their emotions and help them develop
strategies to react better in various situations.
