Sam completed her diagnostic accreditation for Autism through Autism SA.

Sam loves contributing positively to the lives of people living with disability. She works with both adults and children and usually finds meeting clients at their home or school the most beneficial. Sam is very experienced in providing therapeutic support, working with the NDIA, conducting relevant assessments and writing required reports to ensure appropriate supports are provided.

With three children of her own, Sam is passionate about supporting children, in a world that is growing in demands and complexity. Strategies to build confidence and resilience, as well as navigate changing family dynamics, school pressure and friendships are just some examples how Sam can assist you and your child.
