It is essential for me to know my clients and learn about them so that I can better adapt my services for their needs. I will observe, listen and understand what their struggles are in order to find suitable tools and coping skills to achieve both academic and personal success.

I show my clients the tips and tricks of building positive relationships by exploring how effective communication can result in more productive outcomes. This is demonstrated by how non verbal cues and one’s body language can be interpreted by peers/people in class and in group and social settings which are imperative life skills to have.

I also provide personal coaching and mentoring so that kids can build specific life skills and further develop their self esteem through the implementation of natural learning situations or purposeful outings. I will do check-ins to get a perspective of the day and either celebrate the successes or address any concerns and reflect upon them by providing further strategies.

In addition, I will engage in ongoing dialogue about classroom expectations and how to use self regulation tactics in overwhelming situations. This will also teach my clients how to recognize early triggers/stressors so that they are easier to manage.
