I specialize in working with children who have developmental delays and special needs, which encompass a wide range of disorders including genetic syndromes, brain injuries, autism, communication disorders, motor delays and disorders, low muscle tone, epilepsy, severe eating disorders, ADHD, and more. I strongly believe that involving parents and the child's environment in the therapeutic process is essential for fostering positive changes in their development.
My fundamental belief is that every child has the potential to realize their abilities. Drawing from my extensive experience working with numerous children, I have witnessed how those with injuries, syndromes, and disorders can achieve new learning, resulting in transformative improvements in various aspects of their lives and that of their families.
So, how does the process work? Initially, I focus on creating a conducive environment for the child and providing them with appropriate professional training. My objective is to identify and unlock the child's potential and opportunities for growth. One of my primary goals is to help the child relearn any developmental processes he may have missed due to his condition, effectively narrowing the gap between his chronological age and developmental stage.
The learning process is intensive and involves active participation from the entire family. Each developmental milestone builds upon the previous one, forming a solid foundation. By relearning or learning these milestones and consistently practicing them, we stimulate the brain and nervous system to enhance performance skills and to achieve his full developmental potential.
My therapy approach incorporates various developmental elements, including motor skills based on the Feldenkrais method, sensory techniques (such as the snoezelen room method), behavioral interventions, emotional support, social interactions, and more.
Parents play a vital role in the therapeutic process. Through our collaborative journey, we gain a mutual understanding of the changes necessary to facilitate the child's new learning. As a result, parents and the child's developmental environment, including their kindergarten or school, become integral parts of the overall process.
