About
Mentor for children with ADHD and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I use a practical, real-life approach based on in vivo support, where I accompany children directly in everyday situations such as going to a shop or visiting a playground. In real-life environments, we work together on developing self-regulation, social skills, emotional understanding and self-confidence. I offer a safe and supportive presence so that children can truly experience, understand and integrate these situations into their daily lives. My goal is not to make the child adapt to the environment, but to help them discover their own way of functioning.
