Voula is absolutely amazing! She recently spent some time at the Early Learning Centre I work at, and she gave the team such wonderful advice and tips for us to begin to implement straight away. Voula never judged or disregarded our current practice only helped us to build on what we were already doing, we were immediately able to see the positive effects her advice made. You can tell how much knowledge Voula has regarding challenging behaviour and it was amazing to learn from someone with so much passion. We were also given a range of resources to use with the children to assist us guide their behaviour. Thank you for everything you did for us Voula!
Amazing to work with this warm and understanding professional.
Voula’s passion for special education is evident in the care for her students, and the attention to detail. It was a fun classroom to work in but the students also knew what the expectations were. Voula is a wonderful special educator that has decades of knowledge and experience, but above all a genuine interest in helping children achieve their best.”
