About
Rochelle
In my experience, parents want to do everything they can to help their children be happy, engaged and achieve their potential. Therefore, the clinician and family are aligned in their motivation to help a child. If a child fell and may have a broken arm, the parents would go to a doctor and have the child evaluated/x-rays etc. Similarly, if a child has learning, behavioral and/or psychiatric issues, wouldn’t the parent want to understand a child’s current functioning including strengths and weaknesses in order develop a treatment plan help that child?
It is my nature to want to help to help others. When I was 14, I was already volunteering in a program providing services to young children with autism! This led to my pursuing a degree in psychology. I went for further training after a short career in the arts.
It is completely appropriate to experience anxiety when one has learning differences. By working together, we can begin to understand your learning style, strengths and weaknesses in order to develop a plan and strategies to help you.
