I have worked with a range of professionals such as SALT (Speech and Language Therapist), OT (Occupational Therapists), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Educational Psychologists, Play Therapists, Visual / Hearing Impairment Advisors and SEN Advisors. I have been successful in implementing positive behaviour plans and seen great progress and improved mental health with the child/ young adult.
