My background as a special education teacher (psychopedagogue)

After studying psychology, I chose to become a primary school teacher, a profession I practised for around twenty years.

I taught in multi-level classrooms, priority education settings, and a Freinet school, and worked with students with intellectual disabilities or behavioural difficulties. I also trained student teachers.

I later specialised by obtaining the CAPPEI qualification and supported students with attentional difficulties, behavioural challenges, or learning difficulties. I also worked alongside teachers as a resource person. I led projects aimed at developing students’ psychosocial skills, including empathy, emotional awareness, identification of needs, and the integration of body-based well-being practices and music, by rythms and singing.

I then worked as a coordinator for students with special educational needs at a French international school, supporting children, families, and teachers in adapting educational pathways.

I further specialised in neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly ADHD, and trained education professionals by providing both knowledge and pedagogical support.

I am currently pursuing advanced training in Quebec-based orthopedagogical approaches and in therapy by nature.
