I offer comprehensive early childhood intervention tailored to children aged 0-8 years, where their unique strengths and needs are embraced. As an experienced practitioner and a mother of five children, including four who are autistic and have ADHD as well as other challenges, I am dedicated to supporting the growth and development of every child and their families. My wide-ranging services encompass early literacy and numeracy support, social and emotional learning, fine and gross motor skill development, Lego play therapy, transition to school, and the highly effective SoundsWrite program. By fostering a nurturing environment, I create a solid foundation for your child's educational journey and overall well-being. Children with vision impairments hold a special place in my heart, as my daughter is legally blind. Drawing from personal experience, I offer specialised assistance to children facing similar challenges, ensuring they receive the individualised support they need to thrive. With two early childhood degrees, including an Honours research in exploring the power of play as an educational tool, and a postgraduate qualification in autism, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table. My specialisation in autism and ADHD equips me with valuable insights to effectively support children with these neurological profiles. As a neuroaffirming practitioner, I embrace a positive and inclusive approach that recognises and celebrates the strengths and abilities of every child. By creating a supportive and accepting environment, I foster their self-esteem and promote a sense of belonging. I am well-versed in the best practices of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and am able to provide support in a key worker role. Through this collaborative approach, I work closely with families and other professionals to ensure a holistic and coordinated approach to intervention. I am passionate about working closely with both the child and their family, recognising the crucial role family plays in a child's growth and development. By collaborating and creating a supportive partnership, we can navigate challenges together and achieve meaningful progress. As part of my commitment to comprehensive support, I offer SoundsWrite tutoring style intervention, an evidence-based program that enhances literacy skills. By utilising this proven methodology, I equip children with the tools they need for successful reading and writing. I chose the name Perfectly Made, because I believe each child is already made perfect. I don’t seek to change them or ‘fix’ them, because they aren’t broken in any way. Instead, your child's unique abilities are cherished, and wholistically I aim to unlock their potential within. If this is what you are after, feel free to contact me to explore how my neuroaffirming approach and expertise can make a difference in your child's life. Together, we will navigate the path to growth, development, and success
