Special education teacher who supports young children in their development, exploration, and self-expression through a trusting relationship and a sense of safety.
About

I am a special education teacher who believes that the greatest changes happen when a child feels heard, accepted, and safe. In my work with children, I focus on building a relationship that encourages them to express themselves, grow, and develop confidence. I work independently within Brlogec, where I support preschool children and younger primary school students facing various developmental, emotional, or behavioural challenges. In my work, I integrate elements of play therapy and techniques such as Bal-A-Vis-X, and for more than five years I have also provided home-based education for students with special educational needs.
