Areas of Expertise
Specialised, tailored support for parents, caregivers and families of autistic children.
Parental carer mental health is vital to a child's outcomes.
A 2018 Critical Interpretive Review of relevant studies conducted by the University of North Texas showed the outcomes for children with ASD improved once the parent's mental health improved and they felt they could cope better.
Parents who received support from other parental carers were more likely to be able to manage the stressors that came from daily life caring for their autistic child.
Receiving support from a professional with lived experience of parenting an autistic child will benefit you and your child.
As a parent of an incredible autistic child, I have experienced the struggle that can accompany an autism diagnosis. It can feel that your world has been turned upside down and you may not know how to best support your child. Learning about different therapeutic approaches, the NDIS, school support and therapy options can be overwhelming. Being supported through this process will contribute to your child's well-being and positive outcomes.
I work with parents, caregivers and families of autistic children.
I specialise in supporting parents and carers of children in the pre and post autism diagnosis stages.
I support families to create an environment in which your incredible autistic child and the whole family can thrive.
