About

I am a social padagogue experienced in working with children with special needs. I work in a professional support center and part-time in early childhood intervention in a kindergarten. I use an individualized approach and collaborate closely with parents and other key people in the childs's life. I mainly support children with emotional and behavioral difficulties and related challenges, approaching their needs holistically. My special interest is the impact of digital addiction on children's development and its connection to autism and emotional-behavioral difficulties.
