Cait is a mother of four who also has lived experience navigating the diagnostic and therapy journey. When one of her children was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at 18 months of age, Cait experienced the early intervention route firsthand. After seeing the positive impact, she became even more enthusiastic about ECI. Cait understands the complexities and the rewards of both teaching and parenting children with additional needs. She is passionate about advocacy and supporting parents to support their children.
In addition to her specialist background, Cait has experience teaching music and loves to use music as a tool to help connect and engage with children in all areas of life. She has also received training in Picture Exchange Communication, Alternative and Augmentative Communication, positive behaviour support and has a special interest in Auslan and key word sign.
Cait thrives on the opportunity to ‘think outside the square’ and find ways to connect and enter into your child’s world through play, music, creativity, imagination and their special interests.
