A little about me
Hi, I’m Sheila.
Welcome to Thriving Children. I’m a RASP-certified Behaviour Consultant with over a decade of experience supporting neurotypical and neurodivergent children, along with their circles of support at home, at school, and in the community. As a neurodiversity-affirming practitioner, I take a holistic, child-led approach to Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), fostering positive change and teaching essential skills such as self-regulation. My goal is to help every child reach their full potential and thrive.
As a fellow mom, I understand the joys and challenges of parenting, and I believe that informed parents are key to supporting children’s growth and development. That’s why I created Thriving Children: a place to share my favourite resources for your parenting journey. My mission is to empower parents and caregivers so they can guide their little ones with confidence. I hope to meet you soon!
