✨ Autism counseling

Behavior is communication.

I accompany children, young people and their families – professionally, with respect and from my own lived experience. The work is always adapted to the child and the family: it is not about the child "functioning," but about understanding them and supporting them in developing their strengths.

a) Individual counseling and support

• Individual work with children and young people grounded in autism-focused educational principles
• Planning structure and behavior (visualizations, routines, "first – then")
• Developing social and communication skills
• Support with sensory overload, transitions and challenging behavior
• Additionally: Tellington TTouch for you® as a gentle method that can support relaxation and self-regulation

b) Counseling for parents and family 💛

When a child lives on the autism spectrum, families often face particular challenges – in everyday life, in social relationships, at preschool and school. I accompany families not only professionally, but also from personal experience: I am myself the mother of a child on the spectrum.

• Counseling conversations for parents and close family members
• Guidance on understanding and responding to your child's behavior
• Developing helpful routines and structures for everyday life
• Building understanding and acceptance among the people around you

c) Cooperation with preschool, school and professionals

• Professional exchange and cooperation with institutions
• Developing individual support plans
• Attending meetings as needed
