In 2015 I started working in a primary school, in a 1-to-1 role, supporting autistic children. Since then I have been working with children and adolescents from 3 to 19 years old, all with different strengths and limitations. As I always say, when you meet an autistic kid you meet… that one autistic kid. They are all different, their strengths and difficulties and the reasons why those things are trickier for them are not the same. Their emotional, physical, social and environmental situations are also extremely different. That is why I started working with some children at home as well to help children and their families.

​

I consider every aspect of their lives important, so in 1-to-1 sessions I focus not only on academic learning (Maths, Literacy, etc.) but also on understanding and managing emotions, teaching them skills to process and calm down in distress, sensory deregulation which is an important aspect of autism, fine motor skills and social skills. We work on daily tasks that might be more difficult, like brushing teeth, food aversion, prompt independence, communication for nonverbal children, etc.
