Currently, I serve as the Assistant School Head of the Academy for Able Children with Exceptionalities, Inc., a private school recognized by the Department of Education for providing inclusive education to children with diverse needs.</p> <p>In addition to being a <strong>Learning Without Tears Certified Handwriting Specialist</strong>, I hold a variety of certifications that enrich my approach to therapy and education. I am a <strong>US-certified Occupational Therapist (OTR)</strong>, a <strong>Certified Pediatric Massage Therapist</strong> specializing in working with children with Autism and Cerebral Palsy, and certified in <strong>Cognitive Behaviour Therapy</strong> and <strong>Ayres Sensory Integration</strong>. I am also trained in <strong>Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI)</strong> and am a <strong>Reading Interventionist</strong> with expertise in the <strong>Multisensory Approach to Reading and Spelling</strong>, particularly for learners with Dyslexia. Currently, I am completing the <strong>Learn Play Thrive Approach to Autism</strong>, further expanding my toolkit for supporting children on the spectrum.</p> <p>Though my professional roles are diverse, my greatest inspiration comes from being a sister to Abrahm, a joyful young adult with Autism. His remarkable journey continues to fuel my dedication to making a difference in the lives of children and families.</p>
