Bio
I am registered with the College of Speech and Hearing Health Professionals of BC, certified with Speech-Language & Audiology Canada (formerly CASALPA) and am also on the RASP list. I have worked as a speech language pathologist for over twenty years. During that time I have been involved in the establishment and running of a community based speech therapy program for pre-school aged children, supervised SLP’s, and lectured at the Central School of Speech and Drama in London, England. I have worked with children with a wide range of difficulties including autism, developmental delay, neurological disorders and learning difficulties. I have completed Michelle Garcia Winner’s Social Thinking® Clinical Training Program Level 1-Assessment Program. I am also very familiar with RDI®, having completed the bulk of the RDI® consultant training in 2007.

Other Professional Practice / Service Information
Social Thinking® Groups: I see children with their parents individually initially in order to do an assessment and introduce some strategies. Then whenever possible I match children in groups based on their ability, age, gender and location. Social Thinking® groups take place in families’ homes, providing a natural environment and opportunities for play and friendships. Parents and grandparents often participate in groups and follow up on concepts at home, which encourages generalization and has been instrumental in helping children succeed. Groups are tailored to the specific needs of each child and build on the children’s skills over time. Groups typically consist of two or three children.
