Hi there, I’m Stephanie

I hold two master's degrees in Neurolinguistics and Psycholinguistics, where my research focused on autism in boys and girls. Additionally, I have a master's degree in Neuroscience, specializing in Neurological Speech Therapy, with a thesis on pragmatic communication. Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. at the University of Leuven, focusing on the topic of camouflaging in Autism.

 

In my extensive career, I have held various leadership roles in the field of special education. I served as the Principal of Inclusion for a preschool specializing in autism, where I spearheaded the development and implementation of inclusive programs that catered to the unique needs of children on the spectrum. Additionally, I have worked as a Case Manager, overseeing individualized support services for special needs children and collaborating closely with families and professionals to ensure holistic care.

 

During my professional journey, I had the privilege of serving as a Child Manager Services at NATO and as a School Therapist for international private schools. For ten years, I provided comprehensive support in behavior management, speech therapy, and anger management, catering to the needs of diverse students. My practical experience as a speech therapist has provided me with valuable insights into addressing the specific needs of children with special needs, including autism.

 

This experience allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the challenges faced by children in international educational settings and equipped me with effective strategies to address their unique needs.

Throughout my experiences, I became passionately committed to starting my own services due to the observation of a significant lack of affordable therapies and services for anglophone special needs children in Belgium. Recognizing the need for accessible and inclusive support, I established my practice to bridge this gap and provide high-quality, affordable services for anglophone families.

​

Alongside my professional endeavors, I am a best-selling author in the category of Autism and Parents with Children with Disabilities, with my book "Embracing the Spectrum" offering guidance and support to numerous families.

 

With a belief in the power of inclusive education, I take a fun-filled approach to learning, aiming to unleash and unlock the potential of all children. I work with both verbal and non-verbal children, as well as exceptional gifted children, providing comprehensive support that nurtures their strengths and fosters optimal development.

Stephanie is also the holder of 200hr Teaching Degree in Yoga and 90hr degree in Kids Yoga. She also offers private yoga sessions for children.
