In addition to direct work with the child, the intervention includes collaboration with parents and caregivers to promote meaningful progress across everyday routines and environments.
Individual behavior therapy: For children over 5 years old, personalized sessions are offered targeting emotional regulation, social communication, executive functioning, and adaptive skills
Social skills groups: Small-group programs that help children learn to navigate friendships, collaborate with peers, and practice flexible thinking in a supportive environment
Parent coaching and training: Collaborative sessions designed to empower parents with practical tools and strategies that support consistency and connection at home
School consultation and collaboration: Partnership with teachers and school teams to support inclusive learning environments, develop classroom strategies, and promote success across settings
Transition support: Helping children and families prepare for new challenges such as school entry, changes in routines, or increasing independence in daily life
Bio
Ruxandra is a Behavior Analyst with a Master’s degree in Applied Behaviour Analysis. Her professional journey began as an ESL teacher, supporting both neurotypical and neurodivergent children in inclusive classroom settings. Her background in education laid the foundation for her transition into behavioral therapy, a field she entered in 2020.
Since then, Ruxandra has been working with neurodivergent children from early childhood through adolescence, with a broad spectrum of autism-related profiles and other developmental challenges. She brings experience with TEACCH (Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication Handicapped Children) and AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication).
Ruxandra takes a collaborative and evidence-based approach, grounded in empathy and a deep respect for each child as a unique individual. Her work is centered on fostering meaningful connections and growth—not only in the children she supports but also among the parents, educators, and professionals involved. Whether working directly with children or guiding the adults around them, Ruxandra is dedicated to promoting lasting, practical change that empowers and uplifts all those involved.
