OUR APPROACH

Kathleen’s Wholistic Approach to Therapeutic Education

The unique characteristic of Kathleen’s services for children, teens and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other special needs and their families is her wholistic approach in the therapeutic educational process. Kathleen’s educational services always takes into consideration the person as a whole in order to comprehensively delve into and positively impact all of the child’s and the family’s behaviours and interactions.
