The Inspirational Story of Life
Skills 4 Kids
I’ve never been one to do things by halves. Quite the opposite. When I discovered an amazing product in Canada, called SticKids, I knew I had to share it with Aussie parents, teachers and occupational therapists. I started a small website in 2007 to sell this product enabling you to design self-regulation programs to change kids’ lives.
Life Skills 4 Kids was born.
One of my aspirations is to scour the globe for the best information then simplify the concepts to make them available to the people who need it the most. And that’s one part of what I’m doing today. But there’s a lot more.

I empower OTs, parents and educators who work with children with special needs:
- Autism Spectrum and Developmental Delay
- Learning Difficulties

Curiosity Instead of Criticism
I make it a point to encourage people to be curious instead of critical about kids’ behaviour. Why? Because kids behave a certain way for a reason, and it’s our job to figure out why a child displays a particular behaviour.
Throughout my practice, I’ve learned to approach each child with a great sense of curiosity to look at the clues and uncover the underlying reasons for emotional-driven behaviour. I also use evidence-based assessment tools including written reports and common goal setting.
I also challenge people to see the bigger picture to help them understand that the behaviour points to deeper issues that need
to be addressed.
