Erika supported my son (as well as our family) for 18months as our Behaviour Specialist. We will forever be indebted to the work that she did for us. She is a true master of her work, and has a passion and work ethic that is seldom seen. My son adored her from the moment they met, and she was able to undertake the most thorough assessment we’ve ever received; and then provide us with strategies, protocols and programs which are still very much operational. Erika did not address the behaviours in isolation, but looked at things from a very holistic approach; taking into account all of the contributing factors, and the changes that needed to take place in each domain. Ultimately, she made a huge impact on the quality of life of my son, and our family as a whole. We love still staying in touch with Erika and couldn’t recommend her any higher. She is a rare find.
I had the immense pleasure of being supervised by Erika whilst working with several clients who displayed complex comorbidities and challenging behaviours. Erika provided my first introduction into the world of Positive Behaviour Support and I found both her intricate knowledge of behavioural support strategies and support as a supervisor to be invaluable to my clinical practice and growth as a therapist. Throughout our time together Erika constantly strove to ensure that she provided the best service possible for our clients, displaying a level of care and devotion which is second to none and has set a high benchmark for my future endeavours. Passionate about the industry and her role in training up the next generation of Behaviour Specialists, I can say without a doubt that working with Erika is one of the wisest career decisions I have ever made.
If you or your loved one requires some support, please reach out to Erika.
No, all of Erika’s current caseload are self-managing or using a third party to manage their funds; as a result, there is no need for her to become registered. It is a simple invoice exchange.
This really depends on the type of service you’re needing. Ongoing services have a longer waitlist. Reach out to discuss your needs in a little more detail.
