Cognitive And Developmental Support
At Universal Knowledge Support Services, I offer specialised cognitive and developmental support services that are dedicated to helping children and adults with learning challenges unlock their full potential and thrive academically, socially, and personally.
I understand that every individual is unique, which is why I offer personalised support tailored to each person's specific needs, strengths, and goals.
I work collaboratively with educators, counsellors, therapists, OTs, Speech Therapist and other Allied Health Professionals, to provide comprehensive assessment, intervention, and support services across a wide range of learning challenges, including but not limited to dyslexia, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disabilities, and developmental delays.
Key components of my services include:
Comprehensive Assessments: I conduct thorough assessments to identify each individual's strengths, weaknesses, and areas of need. Assessments may include cognitive and/or behavioural assessments, academic evaluations, behavioural observations, as well as interviews with parents, teachers, and caregivers.
Personalised Intervention: Based on the assessment findings, I develop customised intervention plans tailored to the unique needs and goals of each individual. Interventions may include academic support, cognitive training, behavioural interventions, social skills training, speech therapy, and more.
Family Involvement: I believe that family involvement is crucial to the success of any intervention program. I work closely with parents, caregivers, and educators to provide support, guidance, and resources to help them understand and support their child’s learning challenges.
Collaboration with Schools and Professionals: Having spent over a decade in schools here in Australia and overseas, I have a wealth of knowledge and experience around engaging children in their learning. I collaborate with schools, teachers, and other professionals involved in a child’s care to ensure continuity of support and maximise outcomes. I also provide consultation, professional development & training, as well as resources to help schools and professionals effectively support children with learning challenges.
Holistic Approach: I take a holistic approach to support the overall well-being of the individual, addressing not only academic challenges but also emotional, social, and behavioural needs. I strive to empower individuals to develop self-confidence, resilience, and independence in all aspects of their lives.
Support can be provided in-home, online via telehealth, or in community settings where appropriate.
