Educator: School and Kinder consultations

​

Trish and Georgia conduct consultations with school staff via telehealth to support Yellow Door kids in their school or kinder environment, and to support their educators. Onsite whole staff training is also available upon request. Trish and Georgia are passionate about facilitating integration through a neuro diversity affirming approach of not only supporting the child to thrive but also to support the adaptations or accommodations in the environment and the school staff.
