-
Functional assessments of behaviour
-
Positive Behaviour Support Plans and Risk assessments
-
Social and emotional development

Supervision
and Reflective Practice
As an Australian Psychological Society (APS) Board approved Supervisor, Marina promotes Supervision and Reflective Practice as lifelong processes, critical to good professional practice and continuous learning.
Supervision and Reflective Practice sessions are available to individual educators or leadership groups to build critical skills and enhance professional development.
Whole
Class Support
A whole classroom support service focuses on creating classroom environments which assist all children in relation to behaviour and regulation.
The service can also include specific focus on matching environments to the needs of individual children with unique presentations e.g, autism, executive functioning difficulties, language delays/disorders, anxiety and trauma.
