Jacinta is particularly enthusiastic about the “Preschoolers with Autism” Parent Education and Training Program, because of the successful outcomes for parents and their families.
Jacinta was trained by Project Manager Kerry Bull, of Autism Consultation and Training (ACT-NOW) at Monash University in 2005. Jacinta has trained other community professionals to facilitate this program, and has been sub-contracted to present this program for organisations such as McKillop Family Services in Footscray in 2014.
There is nothing more empowering for parents than to have the knowledge and skills required to support their child’s development. Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss an inservice or presentation for your organisation. I look forward to working with you.
